Admissions information for 2026 entry to St Edmund’s School, Hindhead at 7 Plus (7+)

The clearest fact here is the fee: £50 to register, among the lowest of any school in this guide, then a £400 deposit once your child is offered a place. What isn’t published is a fixed calendar. The school’s process is registration followed by an invitation to be assessed, rather than one set exam day for every applicant.

Because the live page names September 2026 entry rather than September 2027, ask admissions directly which intake year your application would sit in, especially if you’re applying well ahead of when your child would actually start.
