## Summary

The 8+ entry point is for children entering Year 4 at Westminster Under School. This is a particularly significant year as 2026 will be the final year for 8+ entry to the School before it becomes fully co-educational. Boys who accept the offer of a place will be part of the last ever cohort of pupils entering at 8+. The process includes registration, school visits, entrance examinations in Mathematics, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, classroom activities, interviews, and place offers.
