Future School Options


 

With over 150 years of experience, Homefield Prep has a proven record of preparing boys for the next stage of their education. Our rich and diverse curriculum, specialist teaching and individualised support go well beyond national expectations, enabling boys to achieve their full potential and secure places at their family’s first-choice secondary schools.

Our results speak for themselves. Over the past four years, our boys have received 107 offers to selective local grammar schools, with 50% of Year 6 boys gaining at least one grammar school place. At the same time, families have the reassurance of a wealth of independent school offers, with 289 places awarded to top senior schools in London and Surrey.

Scholarship success is another hallmark of a Homefield education. In 2024, our boys achieved 36 external scholarships across Academic, Music, Sport and Art, with a further 16 scholarships awarded in 2025. Over the last eight years, this totals an impressive 137 scholarships, reflecting the breadth of talent nurtured at our school.

The transition process is carefully guided by our staff. Boys and parents are supported throughout the process, from consultation meetings and guidance for families to mock assessments, reasoning lessons and interview preparation for the boys, ensuring every child finds the school that is right for him. Whether their next step is Wilson’s, Whitgift, Trinity, Sutton Grammar, Hampton, or King’s College Wimbledon, Homefield boys leave us confident, accomplished and ready to embrace new opportunities.

 

What is the Process?

We fully support boys exiting from Homefield Prep at the end of Year 6 (11+). Senior schools set their own admissions process which varies across the range of schools. The information below is intended to provide an approximate overview of key stages of the future school transfer process.
