Admissions

We very much hope that as a result of viewing our website you will want to visit our School, or even to submit an application. This section explains the Admissions process in some detail, whilst there are buttons on the home page if you simply wish to request a prospectus or arrange a visit.

Our job in the Admissions team is to help you make one of the most important decisions in your life - choosing the right school for your child. We aim to do this by helping you at every step of the admissions process -

  • Answering your initial questions when you contact the school either by phone or e-mail.
  • Sending you a prospectus.
  • Organising a bespoke visit for you (Monday - Saturday)
  • Welcoming you at our next Prep School Open Morning (Saturday 12th May)  
  • Organising a 'taster day' for your child.
  • Conducting your child's entry tests in our office in a sensitive and supportve way. 
  • Providing you with all the joining literature.
  • Putting you in contact with the School Shop and the Second Hand uniform shop.
  • Advising you of Scholarships and Bursaries available to you and liaising with the bursary on your behalf.
  • Welcoming you and your child on your first day at the Prep School.
