13+ Common Entrance

The Eton College King’s Scholarship (or KS) is the most popular 13+ scholarship we help children to prepare for. 

The Eton College King’s Scholarship is one of the most prestigious academic awards in the UK independent-school system. Open to boys aged 12 to 13, the scholarship is awarded through a highly competitive examination known as the King's Scholarship Exams (KS Exams), which tests candidates across a broad range of subjects including English, Mathematics, Science and Humanities. Arguably, the most complex papers are the General exams: General I and General II. These examine logic, reasoning, linguistic aptitude and high-level reading comprehension. 

Preparation for the Eton King’s Scholarship (KS) demands exceptional academic ability, advanced critical thinking and strong exam technique — and we are proud to help candidates prepare this challenge with tailored, expert support. Subject support is offered in French, English A, English B, Maths A, General I and General II.

In addition to preparing candidates for the 13+ Eton King's Scholarship (KS), we also assist candidates in their preparations for scholarships at a range of other leading independent schools. These include Tonbridge School, Harrow School and King’s College School, Wimbledon (KCS). Each school sets its own demanding papers, testing not only academic knowledge but also creativity, reasoning and problem-solving ability. We provide tailored preparation to meet the specific expectations of each institution, helping students to compete at the very highest level.
