How Grammar School Entry Works in Orpington

If you live in Orpington and your child is preparing for the 11 Plus, it’s important to understand the entrance requirements for Newstead Wood School and St Olave’s Grammar School. The Easter holidays are a great opportunity for Year 5 pupils to work on the skills they’ll need for the September tests.
Here’s why it’s important for Orpington families to focus on 11 Plus preparation:

Newstead Wood School and St Olave’s Grammar School

Newstead Wood School and St Olave’s Grammar School each have their own entrance tests, so there isn’t a single shared assessment. However, families still apply through the London Borough of Bromley’s admissions process and list their preferred school on the Common Application Form (CAF).

Newstead Wood School

Newstead Wood School tests Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. There is no separate English or Maths paper. The school requires a minimum age-standardised score of 210 and has a Published Admission Number of 168 places.

St Olave’s Grammar School

St Olave’s Grammar School uses a two-stage entrance process. Stage 1 covers English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. The highest-performing 450 candidates are then invited to Stage 2, which includes written English and Maths papers. The school has 124 Year 7 places, plus up to four Wakeham Chorister places.

London Borough of Bromley

Even if your child meets the required standard, a place at either school is not guaranteed. Offers depend on each school’s admissions rules and test results. The London Borough of Bromley confirms final decisions on National Offer Day in March.
