Registering For A Place
All children will need to be registered with the
school before they are considered for a place.
This involves filling in an online registration which can be found here:
Entrance Assessment
Whilst there is no formal entrance assessment into our Prep School, we would like to meet prospective parents and their children to ensure their suitability and potential. We will request copies of previous school reports and, from Year 3 onwards, review their reading, writing and maths ability.
Pupils in the Prep school do not have to take an assessment to enter the Senior School.
