Crosfields School
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Crosfields School is an independent day school founded in 1957, originally for male pupils, which became co-educational in 2007. It is a charitable trust administered by a board of governors who act as the school's trustees. The school is organised into four departments: the pre-prep from Nursery to Year 2, the junior school for Years 3 and 4, the middle school for Years 5 and 6, and the senior school for Years 7 and 8. The school aims to provide an environment in which pupils are happy and confident, supported by strong pastoral care. It seeks to offer opportunities of considerable breadth and depth, helping pupils discover their talents whilst cultivating respect for other people and the world around them. The school encourages effort, resilience and rigour, and aims to develop critical, enquiring minds so that pupils are prepared for life beyond the school gates. The majority of pupils live locally and represent many nationalities and minority ethnic backgrounds. Many children speak English alongside another language, and those at the early stages of English language acquisition receive additional support. The school supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, with specialist help available as well as in-class support. Pupils identified as able and excelling learners are supported through curricular, co-curricular and pastoral activities.
