please call 01598 760178 to speak with the admissions team.
Entrance Assessment
We love to meet prospective parents and children, in order to get to know you and for you to learn more about our environment and our approach to education. We want every child to thrive and flourish here and so we recommend a visit and taster days as part of the application process. We request copies of previous school reports and, from Year 3 onwards, will review each child’s reading, writing and maths ability. Please provide full information on any SEND assessment or requirement, as well as medical and any other information that will help us to understand fully what your child needs in order to flourish.
Pupils in the Prep school do not take an assessment to enter the Senior School but are assessed on their ability to fully access the curriculum during their time in Prep.
