admissions

Our admissions process is designed to help us get to know your child and ensure they will thrive within our school community and help you discover who we are, and how we can best support and nurture your child’s talents and ambitions.

welcome from

Mrs Stephanie Fensom, Admissions Registrar

Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family will make. We believe every child deserves a place where they feel they belong, are known as an individual and are encouraged to realise their full potential.

I will usually be your first point of contact with the school, and I will support you through every step of the admissions journey, from your first visit to your child’s first day.

I look forward to meeting you.

your journey

1. Get to Know Us

We hold Open Days throughout the year, usually November and May,  or arrange a personal tour. Visit us to experience the learning environment, meet our teachers and pupils, and explore our campus.

2. Apply

Apply online at any time, although we do encourage you to apply as early as possible to ensure your child has as full an experience as possible. We also welcome mid-year applications where places are available.

3. Getting to Know You

Your child is unique and, to us, every story matters. We invite every child to come into our school to meet one of our senior teachers. We are keen to learn more about your child, their interests, what motivates them, and how best we can support them to belong, flourish, and achieve.

4. Assessment

Assessments take place in January, for most on Entrance Assessment Day. The format varies depending on the year of entry, but our focus is on assessing your child’s potential and how we can support them to maximise it.

5. Offer of Admission

Following interview and assessment, families are notified of the outcome of your application in early February, with acceptances required by end of February.

6. Join Us

Before joining, pupils are invited to transition events, helping them build confidence, make new friends and feel at home before their first day.
