Common Entrance and Scholarships

While a few boys leave Aldro to enter their senior schools  aged 11, the majority continue to age 13, aiming to take the ISEB Common Entrance exam or to gain Scholarship entry to their senior schools. In form 8, this is given particularly strong support by two sets of practice or 'trial' exams, one set in the Christmas term and one in the Lent term. The exam practice allows considerable opportunity for any weaknesses to be identified.

Aldro's record, showing consistently strong Common Entrance and Scholarship results, speaks for itself.  We are anxious to maintain this, and so Aldro's teachers are constantly looking at the needs of the senior schools and assessing how these can best be met.
