13+ / Common Entrance
Expert preparation for 13+ and Common Entrance assessments, combining academic rigour with confident, structured guidance.
The 13+ and Common Entrance examinations mark a pivotal transition from prep school to senior school.
Even for students who are all but assured a place at senior school, it is important to score well at CE as senior schools use these exams for streaming.
We support pupils preparing for entry to a wide range of leading independent senior schools, including Eton College, Harrow School, Westminster School, St Paul’s School, and Dulwich College, as well as other highly selective day and boarding schools across the UK.
Preparation typically covers:
- English, including comprehension, grammar, and essay writing.
- Mathematics, with emphasis on accuracy, reasoning and multi-step problem-solving.
- Science subjects, including Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
- Humanities, such as History and Geography, where required.
- Exam technique, time management and written structure.
Testimonials
Clarendon Tutors have provided enormous support to all three of my children, in varying ways. There is never a one size fits all approach. My children continue to be inspired by tutors from Clarendon Tutors, and in a range of subjects and levels, from IB Chemistry to A Level Mandarin conversation and Grade 7 Trinity Speech and Drama. Very highly recommended!
Our tutor, Henry, was the perfect match for our son. He had a great connection with him and was able to explain things really clearly. We would be very happy to recommend Clarendon Tutors.
Clarendon Tutors are an excellent service. I have used them for two different children of very different ages with very different requirements. My son who is 10/11 years old needed extra help with his ISEB test and my daughter needed some very specific help with her 16+ entrance exam. Clarendon found two different tutors (one at very short notice) who were both delightful, inspiring and most importantly good! Both my children liked their tutors and their work improved and they, very thankfully, passed the exams. I would recommend Clarendon to anyone and will also, most certainly, be using them again.
