Assessment Process

Assessment Days for Year 6 for September 2027 entry are as follows:

Tuesday, 29th September 2026
Thursday, 8th October 2026
Wednesday, 13th January 2027

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 7s 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 2027 places, and offer letters are sent out by the end of November 2026 (or the end of March 2027 if you attend the admissions day in January 2027).
