Entry Requirements
Entry requirements vary depending upon the age of your child:
Ages 3-11
We will invite all children seeking admission to the school to attend appropriate entry assessments. In the early years (ages 3-5) these take the form of educational play and enjoyable activities observed by experienced Early Years teachers, enabling us to assess the readiness of children for entry to our Stepping Stones department.
Children seeking entrance at age 5+ will also undertake short tests. At this interview we will be looking for evidence that your child is working towards acquiring certain skills and abilities. Naturally our expectations vary depending upon age, but we will send you a simple skills checklist as a guide in advance of the interview.
Ages 11-16
We set entry examinations for children wishing to enter the School at 11 + and 13+ to ascertain whether they can reach the academic standards we set.
Sixth form
Entry at this level is largely based upon GCSE results. We also ask you and your son or daughter to attend an interview with the Deputy Principal at which we can discuss their future study programme. Progression through the sixth form depends on satisfactory attainment.
Bursaries and scholarships
We offer a limited number of bursaries and scholarships, all of which are awarded on merit. Details of these and comprehensive fees per term are detailed in other documents in this section.
