Candidates should be registered and placed on our provisional list by the end of UK Year 5. We recommend registration four years in advance of entry.
We will request that 13+ and 12+ applicants for Benenden take the ISEB Common Pre-test during the Autumn or Spring Term of Year 6 before they come to the Preview Assessment in April. Candidates will need to make arrangements to sit this test at their current school, or a recognised testing centre in the UK or overseas, (eg local British Council Office), between 1 October and 31 March. Parents can register candidates for the ISEB Common Pre-test from September. The Admissions Department at Benenden will provide guidance if required.
The Preview Assessment for 13+ 2026 entry will take place in April 2024.
Offers of places will therefore be made before the end of Year 6.
