Exam intelligence brief
Premium admissions analysis built from the current evidence stack
Terrington Hall 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
Terrington Hall does not publish a pass mark or offer score for 11+ entry in the evidence reviewed. Official admissions policy states that admission is at the Headmaster’s discretion and depends on the successful completion of a taster day and meeting with the Headmaster.
Our view
Co-educational independent day and boarding prep school for ages 3-13, with senior-school scholarship outcomes and flexible admissions rather than published exam cut-offs.
Best suited to
Families wanting a small independent prep with boarding options, broad co-curricular provision and support through to 13+ senior-school transition.
Watch out for
There is no published 11+ pass mark; admission is discretionary and based on fit, a taster day and Headmaster meeting.

How hard is it to get in?
