Leweston School

Sherborne Dorset
Non-selective admission
Co-ed
Day & boarding
No longer uses the Pre-Tests

Last checked against public sources: 31 August 2026

What Leweston School uses instead

When we checked the school’s admissions pages on 31 August 2026, the ISEB Common Pre-Test was not part of the entry process. What the school uses instead: no selective test - interview, head's reference and school reports. Preparing specifically for the ISEB Pre-Test would not be preparing for this school’s process. Assessment arrangements do change and can differ by entry point, so confirm the current requirements with the school before you plan.

Research note — what we found on the school’s own pages (checked 31 August 2026)

the old 'Joining Year 9' page that carried the ISEB wording now 404s, and the restructured site describes a non-selective process - interview, head's reference and school reports - with taster-day assessments that 'inform their academic programme when they join, not the offer decision'. Google's cache still shows the old ISEB text, so the removal is deliberate and recent. Do not publish ISEB use

What this means if Leweston School is on your list

  • Prepare for this school’s own process, not for ISEB

    The current process is: no selective test - interview, head's reference and school reports. Ask its admissions office what that involves at your child’s entry point, and what — if anything — it publishes for familiarisation.

  • You may still need the Pre-Tests for other schools

    If another school on your list does use the Common Pre-Tests, your child still sits them once in the academic year and that single result is shared with every ISEB school you apply to.

  • Treat ISEB school lists with care

    This school still appears on ISEB school lists that have not been re-checked. Where a listing matters to your plans, check it against the school’s own admissions pages — that is the only source we treat as authoritative.

Where this finding comes from

Read on the school’s admissions pages on 31 August 2026, where the ISEB Common Pre-Test no longer appears in the entry process.

General 11+ preparation

Since Leweston School does not use the Common Pre-Tests, ISEB-specific practice is not what this school asks for. Our free 11+ preparation guide covers the ground most senior-school assessments share — English, maths and reasoning — whatever provider a school uses.
