Entry information

The Webber Independent School’s current 2026–27 policy accepts applications for Years 1–11, including Year 7. Applicants in Years 3–11 take an online cognitive ability test, and children in Years 1–11 spend two full days at school for a taster and assessment. The process also includes an interview, a recent school report and a reference from the current school. The policy does not name test subjects or publish dates for September 2027 entry.
