South Hampstead High School is a girls’ independent day school in Hampstead NW3, London, with entry at 11+. Here is how admissions work and how to prepare.
Part of the London 11+ Consortium. A GDST school with outstanding academic results and a vibrant, intellectual atmosphere. They want girls who are sharp, inquisitive and unafraid to challenge ideas.
South Hampstead High 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.
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.
