I happened to speak to Sutherland-Hawes on the very day Latymer were to decide to whom they offered places.
Whoever applies is allowed to sit the exam: Demand has increased hugely over the past few years… the date in the year when we hit registrations is getting earlier and earlier. One of the reasons is that a lot of students from London used to go to boarding schools, but given the high cost, many parents are switching their attention to London day schools.

There are a great many testing days, as Bob Stevenson, the lower master and designer of this test, explained. How do they whittle the numbers down?
We interview every boy, to find out whether what the prep-school or primary school have told us about them is accurate. We go through each candidate and rank them, comparing five rankings. But sometimes we have to say no. If there were another couple of Etons, it would be OK. Another couple of Etons: Well done to the Year 5 and 6 girls in the inter-house netball competition last week!

Twickenham Prep twickenhamprep Dec 10 Well done to the Year 5 and 6 girls in the inter-house netball competition last week! Twickenham Prep twickenhamprep Dec 05 Saturday 8th December: Twickenham Prep twickenhamprep Dec 04 Christmas is coming Our two children Year 6 and Year 4 love their school and have both thrived since joining TPS three years ago from another school.

Do top independent schools only select pupils from an 'elite club' of prep schools?
I would recommend Twickenham Preparatory School. We watched our daughter begin her journey in reception and blossom into a happy, well rounded, confident girl full of interests and enthusiasm.
