- School-specific assessment
- Administrator
- The Henrietta Barnett School Governing Body is the admission authority. The School runs its entrance-test registration and selection process. Applicants separately submit the Common Application Form through their home local authority, which coordinates offers.
- Assessment provider
- The school says Round One is set by a nationally recognised body but has not named it. Do not assume GL Assessment sets the test because GL familiarisation materials are available.
- Delivery
- The assessment has two rounds. Round One candidates are assigned a morning or afternoon session on one of the three published dates. The published policy and FAQ do not identify paper versus computer delivery or confirm a test venue.
After the 2026 Henrietta Barnett tests
- The school reports that Round Two took place on 6 October 2026 and that parents of Round Two candidates have been emailed with next steps. Check the school's communications, including your junk folder, and contact admissions if the instructions are missing.
- The school does not release scores or rankings for candidates invited to Round Two. Read its 2027 admissions policy for the selection and allocation process; an invitation to the second round is not a school-place offer.
- If you want a place, name the school on a separate application through your home council. Barnet residents must apply by 31 October 2026. Families elsewhere must follow their own council's deadline. Registering for the school test did not submit this application.

Scoring and eligibility
The school ranks Round One candidates using the standardised assessment result and invites the top 300, including candidates tied at the cutoff, to Round Two. The determined policy then applies school-specific eligibility and oversubscription rules, including priority for qualifying looked-after or previously looked-after candidates, eligible Pupil Premium candidates in the Round One top 300, candidates living within three miles who sit Round Two, and remaining candidates by final rank. The policy gives no one route-wide qualifying mark.
