Indies without entrance tests
Are there any indies in North London which might take secondary school pupils without entrance exams?
Re: Indies without entrance tests
King Alfred's in Golders Green. They are mixed ability and don't think there is much of an exam, just some tests to see levels.

I don't know if this helps? I googled "North London independent schools"

Odd list as it has Grieg City Academy on it, a not to good comp and definitely not independent.
There is also St Martha's a small Catholic indie for girls in Barnet. Said to have good pastoral care.

Academies are sometimes classified as 'independent', in the sense of not being run by the LEA. A little bit confusing.copella wrote:Odd list as it has Grieg City Academy on it, a not to good comp and definitely not independent.

I met a very nice girl from King Alfred's back in the mists of time when we were both on a language course run by the Anglo-Austrian Society near Salzburg. (Obviously, I may have met many since, just not knowingly ).

Re: Indies without entrance tests
Most of the 700+ independent senior schools at not that selective but may have a nominal exam- more for the purpose of internal assessment as opposed to select acheademacily .
If you were an alien and happened to stumble onto this rarified forum you would think that all private schools are as selective as the state grammars-this is far from true, you just never hear about them on this selective(histrionic) forum

Re: Indies without entrance tests
Is it for a girl or boy?
St Martha's in Barnet for girls.
St John's in Enfield for mixed
St Columba in St Albans for boys.
I think St C and St J have an exam but they are not selective...

Thank you for the responses
It is for a boy - clever but very easily stressed (in year 4 still) and parents would prefer an indie
