Common Entrance (CE) has been part of the admissions processes of leading UK senior schools for over a century, created in 1903 by HMC, IAPS and GSA and administered by the Common Entrance Committee, later known as ISEB. CE exams are taken by children as part of their entrance applications to senior independent schools at 11+ or 13+.
In this toolkit, you will find a wide range of helpful information, guidance and resources about registering and preparing for CE and CASE exams directly from ISEB, the exam board behind the exams.
You can also explore our Official Guide to CE 13+ for Families, a comprehensive guide designed to demystify the CE 13+ exams, offering clear guidance and support to parents and guardians throughout the CE 13+ admissions journey.
