St Mary's Ascot Entrance Exams

How entry to St Mary's Ascot works

St Mary's Ascot 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.

For 13+ entry (joining in Year 9), many schools assess children in Year 6 or Year 7, well before they start, so the timetable is worth checking early.

Dates and requirements change from year to year, so always check the latest details on the school’s website.
