Prep School Entrance Examinations

At present it is not normally necessary for a girl or boy to sit an Entrance Examination in order to secure admission to Bow, Durham School, although, if a child is already at school, a reference from his/her current school will be required.

The award of a scholarship for entry into Year 3 is, however, based upon performance in formal tests in English, Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning.

Testimonials

"When you join the school, you get a buddy who is there to help you around the House and she is just like a big sister. I found that I soon made friends with all the other girls in MacLeod and many of the Pimlico girls. So settling in was not as scary and hard as I thought it would be - it was actually quite fun! "
Emily Phillips (MacLeod, Year 9)
