The Henrietta Barnett School

Admission to The Henrietta Barnett School for Year 7 is by academic selection, with a First Round Entrance Test in Verbal, Non-Verbal reasoning and English, followed by a Second Round English and Mathematics test.

Year 8 - 11

As a small, selective girls’ school, vacancies are rare. The Local Authority holds the waiting lists for Years 8 – 11.

In-Year Admissions ( Years 8-11)
If parents wish their daughter’s name to be entered on the appropriate list they should visit the In-Year Application

If a vacancy occurs after the Autumn Term of Year 7, those on the waiting list for the relevant year group are required to submit an application to the school and then to take written tests in English and Mathematics, related to the candidate’s current curriculum year (we are unable to provide mock papers). The candidate who achieves the combined highest mark will be offered the place.

If candidates are ranked equally, the following criteria will be used to make a final decision:

• candidates who are ‘looked after’ under the provision of The Children Act 1989 or have been ‘previously looked after
• candidates who are eligible for Pupil Premium funding
• geographical proximity to the School as measured by the London Borough of Barnet

Year 12

The Sixth Form at The Henrietta Barnett School aims to allow students to develop as individual learners by providing opportunities for academic excellence, leadership and service to the community. An important aspect of the School’s Sixth Form is to prepare students for the next stage of their education and life beyond school. The School offers the A level curriculum in the Sixth Form. In addition to transferring students from The Henrietta Barnett School Year 11, applications are welcome from students currently attending other schools. A minimum of 30 places will be offered annually to external applicants. In September we enrolled over 40 applicants.

Applications for Sixth Form Entry 

Applications for September 24 Entry open on November 1st . Please read the Subject Information Booklet (download available below) for more information about the A-level courses we offer.
