Hampton / LEH - after state primary?

Is it possible to get to Hampton School or Lady Eleanor Hollis (at 11) from a state primary school, or do you basically need to have been in an private (& academic) prep school beforehand.

Is there any chance (assuming DS & DD bright enough) of a scholarship, from a state primary?

State primary in question would be Cleves Junior School, Weybridge.

I'd always really liked the sound of Hampton & LEH, but private school fees all they way through has never been an option. We might be able to manage it from 11 though, for the right school.

Any thoughts welcome.

Yes, perfectly do able, every year a bunch went from DC's primary to both. Neither was for us because we wanted co ed, but certainly do-able!

I don't see why not. I went to SPGS from a very ordinary state primary.

From what I gather Hampton's scholarships seem a bit variable (and possibly negotiable?). I heard from 10% to 50% last year.

I know 2 boys in my DS1's year (state primary) who got scholarships to Hampton last year. Only thing to bear in mind is that a scholarship isn't usually worth a high proportion of fees (25% at Hampton I think?)

Yes, it's absolutely possible to get scholarship from state primary.

I believe the majority intake at 11+ is from state schools. Hampton has another intake at 13+ which I guess is mainly from private.
