Admissions & Assessments 13 – 16 years

Between 13 and 16, assessment becomes consequential. GCSE performance, subject depth and intellectual maturity increasingly shape sixth form entry, scholarship opportunities and longer-term academic pathways. Our assessments provide objective benchmarking against leading independent and international school standards, accompanied by detailed reporting and strategic guidance to inform next steps.

Benchmarking for Sixth Form and Scholarship Pathways

Selective sixth forms and senior schools assess far more than grades. Analytical depth, written precision, subject fluency and academic maturity are closely examined. Our evaluation process provides families with a clear understanding of attainment, potential and competitive positioning.

Trusted by families through generations

Families come to us for reassurance and guidance as much as expertise. By building long-term relationships based on trust, discretion, and thoughtful support, we support parents and children through some of the most important early decisions they will make.

Darren has been the best art mentor we’ve had the fortune of working with, providing invaluable guidance and support that helped my son complete his portfolio on time in his final year of senior school. His mentorship truly brought out the best in him, and the outstanding feedback the work has received wherever it has been submitted speaks for itself.

I want to extend my deepest thanks to mentor Darren Marshall. His professional mentoring and  support over the past year have meant a great deal to me. I truly cannot imagine how I would have connected with the RCA—or completed my studies so smoothly—without his efficient and high-quality mentoring. Thanks to Darren‘s support, I’ve made significant progress, even breakthroughs, in my artistic journey. 
It has been a real pleasure working with him.
