There is not one set way to join ɬ and our highly experienced admissions team are here to provide a personal approach for every family’s journey.
You may wish to start with a phone call to our team, followed by a visit, or you may prefer to request a prospectus to begin with. We always encourage you to come and see us, meet with a member of the senior team and have a pupil-led tour of the campus.
Your child may wish to experience ɬ for themselves and taster days can be arranged once they are registered (step 1 below). As a family, you may choose to combine a taster day with our entrance assessments.
For those who live far away, including overseas, we can set up a Teams call with you. Whatever your preference, we will make it happen. We work hard to ensure the process is smooth and fits your needs.
If you decide to join ɬ there is an easy pathway to follow, as detailed below:
Step 1 – Complete a registration form and return to our admissions team along with the registration fee, a copy of a recent school report (where applicable), a copy of the photograph page of your child’s passport and a ‘head and shoulders’ photograph.
Step 2 – An assessment and/or interview will usually be arranged depending on the year of entry. This usually involves tests in English, Maths and reasoning, and can be undertaken remotely for international applicants.
Step 3 – With parental permission, ɬ requests a reference from the applicant’s current school.
Step 4 – At this stage, successful applicants will be offered a place or invited to join a waiting list. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified.
Step 5 – Parents accept the place offered, or decline it, by the stated deadline date. A deposit is required when accepting a place.
Step 6 – A variety of induction events take place for pupils joining at the start of a new session and welcome packs are sent to all new families.
Step 7 – The pupil starts at ɬ Junior or Senior School and is given an exceptionally warm welcome!
