St James Senior Girls' School is a girls’ independent day school in Kensington W14, London, with entry at 11+. Here is how admissions work and how to prepare.
Has left the London 11+ Consortium and becomes co-educational from September 2027. A distinctive school with a mindfulness-based ethos — for thoughtful, reflective children who value inner growth as much as academic achievement.
St James Senior Girls' School sets its own entrance assessments rather than using a shared national test. Depending on the entry point, these can include written papers in English and maths, reasoning tests, an interview or a group activity. Because the papers are the school’s own, practice should be matched to the style of questions it sets rather than to a generic test.
Dates and requirements change from year to year, so always check the latest details on the school’s website.
My St James Senior Girls' School guide sets out the full process, the key dates, and a preparation plan, and my mock papers let children practise under real timings.
