Entrance Exam Symposium
The premier live event for entrance exam professionals!
Every year, the Entrance Exam Symposium brings together tutors, educators, and industry experts to explore evolving trends in selective school admissions.
It’s more than a one-day event. It’s a growing community dedicated to ensuring students and families receive the very best support through the admissions journey.
Vision:
I founded the Entrance Exam Symposium to provide a space for genuine collaboration in a sector that can feel competitive and isolating.
By bringing together the brightest minds and most committed professionals, we can raise standards, share best practice, and create better outcomes for students preparing for selective school entrance exams.
This annual gathering is now an anchor in the calendar for tutors and educators in this market.
What Makes the Symposium Different?
- Expert Speakers: Past contributors have included senior leaders from leading schools, education technology innovators, and highly experienced tutors.
- Real Conversations: Sessions tackle the real challenges tutors and families face, from assessment trends to student wellbeing.
- Community Impact: Attendees leave not just with ideas, but with connections and resources that ripple out into their work with students.
An excellent day with opportunities to develop my own practice for the benefit of my students. The size of the event meant it felt more personal and allowed more chances for us to catch up with speakers and reflect on what had been shared.
Next Symposium: Challenging Perspectives: Reimagining Entrance Exams
The Entrance Exam Symposium 2026 will take place on October 16th at the Lyric Hammersmith, London.
In a landscape where selective education is shifting, this year’s symposium invites tutors, consultants, and education professionals to step outside familiar frames. What happens when we view entrance exams through a global lens, question our own professional identities, or sit – just for a moment – on the school’s side of the table?
Full programme and ticket details will be announced soon.
