Admissions

Entry to the Pre-School

It is advisable to register your child for possible admission at least one year before their second birthday. If you would like to put your child's name on our waiting list, please fill in our registration form.

Reception

The vast majority of our Pre-School children transfer into Reception. Parents, together with their child, have a brief meeting with the Principal to discuss entry into Reception and the Acceptance Form is handed out to parents.

Key Stage 1

A few places sometimes become available in Years 1 and 2. Children are offered a Taster Day and a teacher assessment based on reading, writing and number skills; as well as conduct and behaviour.

Key Stage 2

In-house examinations are set in Maths, English and Reasoning for Years 4 and 5. Occasionally, children join the School in other year groups. Prospective pupils take these tests appropriate to their age so the school can assess their level of attainment and potential.

Applicants will be asked to ‘join’ the class they may be going into, to give them the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the School and their possible future peers. The Taster Day gives the child the opportunity to trial the School and the School gives prospective parents feedback on their child’s results.

An offer of a place is made if there is a vacancy and the School feels that the child would benefit from the education it offers.
