Channing School Entrance Exams

How entry to Channing School works

Channing School is part of the London 11+ Consortium. Children sit one shared online assessment in the autumn of Year 6, lasting 100 minutes in total, usually at their own primary school. It covers reasoning, English comprehension, maths and some creative problem solving, and a child sits it only once, however many Consortium schools they apply to. The result goes to every one of them, and each school then holds its own interview.

The assessment starts with an adaptive section, so confident, careful answers matter more than rushing. Children who have practised timed reasoning and comprehension questions go in far more relaxed. There is a full guide to the Consortium for 2027 entry in my advice section.

Dates and requirements change from year to year, so always check the latest details on the school’s website.

How I help children prepare for Channing School

• 1:1 online lessons in English comprehension and writing, maths and reasoning (verbal and non-verbal), with the exam technique for each
• Practice matched to Channing School’s assessments and mock papers under real timings
• Interview practice, so children can talk about themselves and their interests with confidence
• Ash’s Exam Zone app for daily practice between lessons

My London 11+ Consortium guide sets out the full process, the key dates, and a preparation plan, and my mock papers let children practise under real timings.
