Exam intelligence brief
Premium admissions analysis built from the current evidence stack
Notre Dame School
11+ exam brief for parents: how the process works, how competitive it really is, and what current evidence says about the score profile needed.
Editorial read
No official pass mark, interview threshold, or offer score was found in the supplied evidence. Multi-source third-party material indicates 11+ / Year 7 entry with an entrance assessment, so any threshold should be treated as unpublished and school-set.
Our view
Likely a Surrey independent girls' day school with 11+ entry, but the supplied official-domain evidence is mismatched and needs correction.
Best suited to
Families seeking a Catholic independent girls' school in Surrey/Cobham.
Watch out for
Admissions detail is thin and the current validated website appears to belong to a different Notre Dame school.

Plain-language interpretation
In plain English: the school does not publish a guaranteed pass mark. Use no official pass mark as a working guide, and read the competitive range band as the point where every extra mark matters.

Focus areas to prepare
Common misconceptions
- Do not assume the supplied cheznous.org admissions pages are for the UK Cobham school.
- Do not expect a published pass mark; none was found in the supplied evidence.
- There is no officially published 11+ pass mark to aim for.
- The evidence pack mixes UK Cobham material with an apparently unrelated Manhattan official website, so admissions specifics should be checked against the correct UK source before publishing.
