Admissions information for 2027 entry to Notting Hill and Ealing High School Junior School at 7 Plus (7+)

The written tests in English, maths and reasoning run in early December 2026, inside the same window as the 4 December registration deadline, so this is not a school to decide on late. Your daughter’s current school provides a reference as part of the process, and girls who do well come back for a short informal interview and a look round.

Offers are typically made by February half term. NHEHS doesn’t publish its 7+ place count or fee, and its exact offer date varies, so confirm the current details with the admissions office, who are quick to answer.

How can I register my child for the 7 Plus (7+) assessment at Notting Hill and Ealing High School Junior School?

Register with the school by Friday 4 December 2026, and realistically well before, since the tests themselves run in early December. Contact the Head of Admissions ([email protected], 020 8991 2165) for the current fee and exact test date once you’re committed.

What is the 7 Plus (7+) assessment format at Notting Hill and Ealing High School Junior School?

English, maths and reasoning. The school doesn’t publish a paper-by-paper breakdown or the reasoning type, so preparation should cover comprehension, writing, Year 2 maths and both reasoning styles, weighted toward English and maths, which no 7+ assessment skips.

The reference from your daughter’s current school matters here in a way parents can’t rehearse, which is its point. What you can do is make sure the December morning itself holds no format surprises.

Notting Hill and Ealing High School Junior School 7 Plus (7+) top tips for your child

• Treat early December as the real deadline for everything: registration, and the tests themselves
• Cover both verbal and non-verbal reasoning styles, since the school specifies neither
• The interview is informal and follows success in the tests, so it rewards a child at ease, not a coached one
• Ring admissions for the current fee and exact test date; they’re not on the website
• Offers by February half term means a longer wait than some rivals: brace yourself for it rather than your daughter
