Blackheath Prep is part of the Eltham College Family of Schools incorporating Eltham College, Eltham College Junior School and Blackheath Prep. While each school retains its own distinct individual identity and Heads, the family of schools share an educational vision, ethos and values. 

For Blackheath Prep pupils who select Eltham College as their senior school of choice we offer the benefit of a preferential application process which enables our pupils to sit an early entrance exam for Eltham College at the start of Year 6. Places and scholarships (where applicable) at Eltham College are then offered to successful pupils ahead of external candidates. On acceptance of the offer, pupils can then withdraw from the 11+ cycle.

In the summer term of Year 6, Blackheath Prep pupils will join their peers from Eltham College Junior School to attend special lessons at Eltham College to prepare them for their move to senior school.

Places offered via the preferential application process are subject to Eltham College’s usual entry requirements.
