Frequently asked questions
We're Chelsea family preparing for 13+ Common Entrance for Eton or Harrow boarding. Timeline?
13+ Common Entrance preparation typically starts in Year 6 (age 10-11) for examination at 13 (Year 8). Smartious tutors provide structured preparation across Mathematics, English, Sciences, Latin (essential for Eton), and Modern Languages. Interview preparation and pre-boarding academic and pastoral coaching included.
Our child wants to try the Cambridge IGCSE + A-Level route instead of 13+ boarding. Is that reasonable?
Yes. Cambridge IGCSE (Years 10-11) followed by Cambridge A-Level (Years 12-13) is an equally strong UCAS pathway. Some Chelsea families choose Smartious online Cambridge + A-Level as primary education either from Year 9 or as post-13+ alternative to boarding. Same UCAS Oxbridge / Russell Group pathway.
