Newstead pass mark by year
Why Newstead is different
Newstead Wood is one of the country's most sought-after girls' grammars — and its entrance exam catches many well-prepared families off guard. Here's what your daughter is really up against.
Newstead sets just two papers — Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning — on the same day. There's no English or Maths exam, so being top of the class isn't enough on its own.
Around nine girls apply for every place, and the pass mark sits well above the national standard. A few careless slips can be the difference between an offer and a near-miss.
These question types aren't taught in class, and they're sat under real time pressure. Familiarity with every format — and speed — is what separates offers from the rest.
Verbal Reasoning · Paper 1
Analogies, letter and number codes, hidden words, closest-in-meaning and odd-one-out — we teach every Verbal Reasoning type from scratch, then adapt the practice until it's automatic. No gaps, no guesswork.
Non-Verbal Reasoning · Paper 2
Sequences, matrices, rotation, reflection and symmetry. Interactive shapes make abstract Non-Verbal patterns obvious — so by exam day, nothing on Paper 2 looks unfamiliar or throws her off.
Try it yourself
A real odd-one-out, just like Paper 2. Tap your answer.
Meet Ada · her AI study buddy
Ada explains every wrong answer in language a nine-year-old actually gets, nudges with hints instead of handing over the answer, and keeps her going when motivation dips. Every conversation is visible to you — Ada never asks for personal details, and safety comes first.

Tracking to Newstead's bar
Mocks & readiness
Timed, exam-style mocks build stamina and calm nerves, while a live readiness score shows exactly how she's tracking against Newstead's high bar — long before exam day, when there's still time to act on it.
How it works
A structured 2.5-year path that adapts in real time, so ten focused minutes a day always land in the sweet spot — never too easy, never overwhelming.
A short, clear lesson with a worked example for every reasoning type.
Questions step up or down with her, so she's always working at the right level.
Points, badges and a live readiness score show progress to you both.
The secret weapon is motivation. She earns points for every session and collects four study buddies — plus dances and accessories — so she keeps coming back without being nagged.
Loved by families
“She actually asks to do her ten minutes now — that alone was worth it.”
“For the first time I can see which reasoning types she's weak on, in plain English.”
“The mocks took the panic out of exam day for both of us.”
