13+ Preparation — Common Entrance and Boarding School Entry | Leading Tuition

The 13+ admissions process is longer and more complex than most parents expect. It begins with the ISEB Common Pre-Test in Year 6, runs through conditional offers, and culminates in Common Entrance examinations in May of Year 8 — a period of nearly two years. For schools like Winchester that set their own papers, the preparation is different again.

Leading Tuition provides specialist 13+ preparation across all stages: ISEB pre-test coaching, Common Entrance subject tuition, and support for school-specific assessments and interviews. Select a school or exam below for a detailed guide.
