Firstly, look at the sample paper if it's on the website, it is I'll give you an idea of what's expected. The creative writing last year was along the lines of 'you are a character (from the comprehension), write about your feelings/continue the story. They are looking for an expressive piece with'wow' words, metaphors etc. Maths is wordy, look at past papers from Dulwich College, Manchester Grammar School etc.
Good luck, despite the current issues, it's a great school!
