Haberdashers' Girls is a girls’ independent day school in Elstree, Hertfordshire, with entry at 11+. Here is how admissions work and how to prepare.
A superb girls' school that combines academic rigour with warmth. Their 11+ is challenging but fair — they're looking for confident, curious girls who aren't afraid to think independently.
Haberdashers' Girls sets its own entrance assessments rather than using a shared national test. Depending on the entry point, these can include written papers in English and maths, reasoning tests, an interview or a group activity. Because the papers are the school’s own, practice should be matched to the style of questions it sets rather than to a generic test.
Dates and requirements change from year to year, so always check the latest details on the school’s website.
My Haberdashers' Girls guide sets out the full process, the key dates, and a preparation plan, and my mock papers let children practise under real timings.
