Prospective pupils will be invited to sit an Entrance Exam. Places are offered based on both academic aptitude and a good character reference from your child’s current school, but may not be offered in rank order as other factors, outlined in the Admissions Policy are also taken into account.
Admission to
Years 8-11
Parents are invited to contact the Admissions Team to ascertain if there is a vacancy in the desired year group and, if so, you may wish to arrange to attend our next Open Morning/Evening.

We do not have a set assessment date for places in other groups and deal with applications on a rolling basis.
