Admissions process
Lower School
The deadline for receipt of completed applications for the Lower School is 15th December in the year preceding entry. Once received, an application will be acknowledged, normally within a few days of receipt. A fortnight prior to the entrance assessments, an exam card and further details about the morning will be posted to the named contact on the application form.
For entry in 2010, 7+ candidates will be assessed during the morning of Saturday, 16th January 2010. Children will be asked to attend in their current school uniform and will undertake a number of activities where their verbal and practical skills in English, Mathematics and Reasoning are assessed. Children applying for places at 8+, 9+ or 10+ will be similarly assessed on the morning of Saturday, 16th January 2010. Please note that we will seek an academic reference from your child’s current school unless you have indicated otherwise on the application form. Children who successfully complete the assessments are invited, with their parents, to interview. We are normally able to advise you of the outcome shortly thereafter.
