Introduction
Lady Eleanor Holles School (also known as LEH or LEHS) is an independent day school for girls in Hampton, London. Established in 1710, it features a beautiful 24-acre campus and a high-achieving junior department that centres its ethos on academic excellence. [1]
In the Junior School, standards are exemplary and girls generally work in advance of their chronological age. Encouraging the cohort to be resilient and reflective in their approach to learning, LEH equips pupils with strong qualifications across a range of disciplines, including science, technology and languages.
The selection of extracurricular activities is impressive. Sport plays an important role in the life of the school, hence girls achieve notable successes at both regional and national level in netball, swimming and gymnastics. Drama and music opportunities are equally popular, developing pupils’ creative abilities and artistic expression as part of the school’s efforts to preserve their originality. [2] [3]

Lady Eleanor Holles: Destination Schools at 11+
Most girls progress to the Senior School without the need to take the school’s 11+ exam. However, each girl’s performance and conduct during her time in the Junior Department will be reviewed so that LEH can establish whether or not she’s able to meet the academic standard required in the Senior School.
Accordingly, a girl may be offered a guaranteed place in the Senior Department without the need to take the 11+ test or to be interviewed. Alternatively, if she proves to be an unsuitable candidate for entry to the Senior Department, she will not be offered a guaranteed place and will be asked to sit the 11+ test and attend an interview, just like any other external candidate.
Our practice tests aim to show what sort of questions were included in Lady Eleanor Holles School (LEH) 7+ past papers.
