Christ's Hospital admissions, catchment & how to apply
| Catchment | Open to all — no catchment requirement — The school states it welcomes day students who are within a commutable distance from the school. |
|---|---|
| Secondary application | Name the school on your local authority's Common Application Form by the national deadline of 31 October in Year 6 — registering for the test alone is not an application. |
Registration for the entrance test is separate from the council application, and the test is sat in the autumn of Year 6 (usually September), with results before the 31 October deadline so families can rank their choices. The definitive rules are in the school's own admissions policy: Christ's Hospital admissions page.
What score does your child need for Christ's Hospital?
Christ's Hospital does not publish a fixed pass mark: applicants are ranked on standardised scores each year, so the qualifying line moves with the cohort and the number of places. Consistently strong, timed practice across every tested subject is the reliable signal — ElevenReady's readiness score tracks that for this school.
How to prepare for the Christ's Hospital 11+
- Start early and build the basics. Begin in Year 4 or 5 so there's time to master each subject before adding exam pressure. Little and often beats last-minute cramming.
- Practise each subject with real question types. Use the free papers above to get familiar with Bespoke test-style maths, english, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning questions and how they're worded.
- Find and fix the weak spots. Mark each paper, look for the topics that trip your child up, and give those extra focused practice rather than repeating what they already know.
- Sit full papers under timed conditions. Closer to the exam, work to the clock so pace and stamina feel normal on the day.
- Keep it calm and encouraging. Confidence matters as much as content — celebrate progress and keep sessions short and positive.
