Testing

As Cranbrook School is a selective Grammar School, all students have to undergo testing.  We will liaise with you to make arrangements for testing to take place.

If you wish to apply for a Year 9 day place, your child will be assessed using the Cranbrook School Entrance Exam, further information on which can be requested from the Registrar.

If your child is not offered a place you can:
