After Donhead
Donhead highly values its strong links with Wimbledon College and, each year, Dohead boys transfer to the College. This is a tradition of which we are justly proud. In addition to this, many of our boys transfer to other highly-selective independent and state schools via the route of the 11+ and independent schools’ entrance examinations. We prepare children conscientiously for these exams and we now enjoy an extremely good track record of success in such examinations.
Information Evening
We hold a Senior School Information Evening early in the Michaelmas Term for parents of children in Years 4 and 5. We try to cover as wide a spectrum as possible of the schools in which our parents have expressed an interest. Parents may also request a meeting with the Headteacher to talk through their options for secondary schools at any time.
