RECEPTION ENTRY – SEPTEMBER 2025 ONWARDS
- Registration for entry to Reception at our Boys’ Prep School for 2025 onwards can be made at any time (but not before birth). On receipt of the completed application form and the non-returnable fee of £200 (or £250 if overseas) you will receive written confirmation of your son’s Reserved Place, providing no waiting list is in operation.
- Our families are encouraged to attend one of our Open Events, and a personal tour can be arranged on request.
- A formal confirmed offer will follow, and places need to be accepted by the deadline stated in the offer letter. On receipt of the acceptance form and payment of the £1000 deposit, it will become a Confirmed Place. When confirmed pupil numbers reach our maximum class size, we will then add your son’s details to our waiting list and a confirmed place will be offered, where possible, after the acceptance deadline.
7+ ENTRY (OCCASIONAL PLACES) – SEPTEMBER 2026 ONWARDS
Each year, we have a few occasional places in our Year 3 cohort, also known as 7+. Whilst there is a formal deadline and process outlined below, we may have availability outside of these times, so we still welcome you to apply and contact the Admissions team.
- Registrations for entry to Year 3 at our Boys’ Prep School should be made by 12.00 midday on Monday 3 November 2025. There is a non-refundable application fee of £200 (or £250 if applying from overseas).
- The Entrance Assessment will take place on Thursday 20 November 2025.
- As part of the admissions process, we will contact your son’s current school prior to the assessment to request a confidential report.
- The assessments will comprise Mathematics and English components. The Mathematics assessment includes number operations, fractions, and shapes, whilst the English assessment involves reading aloud, creative writing, and comprehension. Both assessments are standardised and age appropriate. On the same day as the assessment, he will also spend time in our classrooms as part of a taster day.
- We aim to inform all parents of the outcome of their sons’ application as soon as possible.
