Admission Into The Bishop Anstey High School (St. Hilary's)

Students enter Form I on the basis of their grades from the Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) examination, which is organized and adjudicated by the Ministry of Education in Trinidad and Tobago.

The Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA) Examination is used to facilitate the placement of students in Secondary Schools throughout Trinidad and Tobago. The SEA comprises three papers in the subjects of Creative Writing, Mathematics, and Language Arts. It covers the national curriculum for Primary-level education with a focus on Standards 3-5.

Incoming students are divided into three (3) classes according to the alphabetical order of their surnames. We do not stream our students by ability at any stage of their attendance at our School. In adherence to the Ministry of Education's Requirements, The Bishop Anstey High School follows the Secondary Education Modernisation Programme (SEMP) Curriculum from Forms 1 to 3.

During their fourth and fifth years, students follow the CSEC syllabus in preparation for the Caribbean Examination Council (CXC) and University of Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level exams in various subjects, along with a compulsory core of English Language, English Literature and Mathematics.

Constraints of space and staffing limit our intake of students into the Sixth Form (Lower VI and Upper VI) to two (2) classes totaling approximately 60-70 students. As a result, entry into the Sixth form is highly competitive, and is based in part on academic qualifications (students' CXC results and teachers' assessments of their intellectual promise), attendance records, overall conduct, and involvement in school activities.

Our Sixth form students follow an intense and rigorous syllabus in preparation for the Advanced Level CAPE and University of Cambridge GCE exams.
