Assessment Process
Entry to Pre-Reception
Entry to Pre-Reception at 3+, i.e. the school year in which the child will have his/her 4th birthday, is by interview and nursery report, where appropriate. Attendance to at least one “drop-in” session is also required prior to entry. Places may be either full-time or part-time, with preference given to those seeking full-time. There is a minimum requirement of 6 sessions per week. A session is either a morning or an afternoon.
Entry to Years 1-6
Parents are welcome to register their children to enter Reception-Year 6 in the Preparatory School, however places only become available in these year groups should a current pupil leave the Preparatory School. In the circumstance that a space arises, a child shall be selected from the waiting list, taking into account the school’s Admissions Policy. Subject to assessment, satisfactory school report and parental interview, an offer of a place may be made. Should a place not become available for a child’s requested term of entry, the registration will roll over to the next academic year until a place becomes available. Should a child reach Year 6 and a place has not become available in the Preparatory School, parents shall be contacted regarding Senior School entry. There is no need to re-register for Senior School entry.
