This school is outside London, so we do not hold its DfE register entry. It is listed because London schools send leavers to it.

Admissions
Independent schools run their own admissions. You register directly with the school, usually for a fee, and the school sets its own deadlines, assessments and offer dates, which are separate from the borough process.
Entry points, as published by the school
- Year 7 (11+)
Single streamlined 11+ pathway: pupils join a Charterhouse prep school (Edgeborough or Windlesham House) for Years 7-8 then transfer seamlessly to Charterhouse at 13+ without further application. All registered candidates sit the ISEB Common Pre-test in the Autumn Term of Year 6, reviewed with a school reference; successful applicants attend an Interview and Activities Assessment (group activities, interviews and a creative-writing task) in the Spring Term of Year 6. One contract and one deposit. Source
- Year 9 (13+)
13+ is the largest entry point. Year 6/7 pathways: ISEB Common Pre-test in the Autumn Term (online, age-standardised), reviewed with a reference from the current school; successful applicants attend an Interview and Activities Assessment at Charterhouse (group activities, interviews and a creative-writing written assessment) in the Spring Term. Year 8 pathway: remotely invigilated digital tests (possibly plus an EAL test), then an Assessment Day. Offers are conditional on a positive reference for performance and behaviour in Year 8. Source
- Year 10 (14+) · 20 places
Around 20 new Year 10 pupils are welcomed each year; places are limited. Candidates complete remotely invigilated tests on a digital platform within a set testing window (some may also take an EAL test), then attend an Assessment Day at Charterhouse with group activities, interviews and a creative-writing written assessment; references are requested from the current school. Source
- Sixth form (16+) · 70 places
Around 70 new pupils join the Sixth Form each year alongside an existing year group of about 180. After registration, a Candidate Form collects the latest school report, predicted (I)GCSE grades, a head's reference contact and proposed subjects. Candidates complete digital tests in literacy, numeracy and reasoning; shortlisted candidates attend an assessment day with an observed seminar, short written exercise and one-to-one interview. As a guide the school expects successful candidates to gain a high proportion of 8s and 9s at (I)GCSE; offers are unconditional but subject choice depends on (I)GCSE grades. Source
