Mill Hill Education Group Senior School Pathway

As part of the Mill Hill Education Group, our pupils benefit from our Group Senior School Pathway, which offers them the opportunity to receive conditional offers for 11+ places at one or our Group Senior Schools without sitting the standard entrance exams.

Offers will be based on a Head’s recommendation, considering academic suitability, character, and internal assessments, including standardised scores collected by the Prep Schools. This collaborative process ensures that each offer aligns with the pupil’s abilities and potential.

11+ Offers (Y7 Places): Issued in the Spring Term of Year 5 for entry to senior schools: Abbot's Hill, Kingshott, and Belmont, Mill Hill Prep.

Key Advantages of the Mill Hill Education Group Pathway

Early Offers: Priority placement offers are made significantly earlier than for external applicants, providing families with a clear timeline and reduced uncertainty.

Reduced Stress: By eliminating high-pressure entrance exams for internal pupils, the Group prioritises pupils' mental health and overall development.

Enhanced Learning: Freed from excessive practice tests, pupils engage in deeper learning, strengthening their foundation for GCSEs.

Holistic Development: A shared ethos across the Group emphasises academic excellence, moral integrity, and community awareness, ensuring well-rounded growth.

Dedicated Support: Regular assessments and personalised discussions ensure each child is placed in the most suitable senior school environment.

This pathway reflects the Mill Hill Education Group’s commitment to a nurturing, academically excellent and stress-free transition from prep to senior school.
