Assessment Process

Assessment Days for Year 6 for September 2025 entry are as follows:

Tuesday 1st October 2024
Thursday 3rd October 2024
Wednesday 12th February 2025

We accept applications for Year 7 entry throughout the year. An assessment fee of £100 is payable for a one-day trial.

Prospective students will come in for 1 day and join our current year 7’s in their lessons. They will also sit an online assessment. The assessment program is called Incas, and it will assess their reading, spelling, math and mental arithmetic through a series of questions and tasks. The program is adaptive, so it will recognise if students are struggling and make the questions slightly easier. Likewise, if they find the program too easy, then it will adapt to that, too. It helps us to see if we can meet their academic needs here at Canbury.

Decisions are then made by the Senior Leadership Team about 2025 places, and offer letters are sent out by the end of November 2025 (or end of March 2025 if you attend the admissions day in February 2025).
