In Year Admissions
Application for admission during Years 7 - 11
Those parents who wish their child to be considered for entry should complete and return an In-Year Application Form, this can be downloaded and either scanned or posted back to the school. No more than one application can be made in any one academic year.
On receipt, applicants will be written to within 15 school days to confirm we have received the completed form.
Applicants for the same year group will sit a series of tests at the school.
For In-Years 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11 these tests will be in English, Mathematics and Science.
Please note there are no specimen papers available.
The dates for testing will be as follows (Subject to change) :-
Year 7 and 8 - w/c 27th January 2025 and w/c 23rd June 2025
Year 9 & 11 - w/c 14th October 2024 and w/c 21st April 2025
Year 10 - 18th September 2024 and w/c 21st April 2025
The tests will not aim to replicate the 11+ but will seek to establish whether the applicant can sustain the pace of the school’s classroom education and fit within the ability levels and parameters of achievement of the relevant year group. Places will be offered to the applicants with the highest scores deemed capable of meeting the aforementioned criteria providing there is a vacancy in the relevant year group.
There is a right to appeal.
The application to join the school does not roll over from one academic year to the next - parents must complete an in-year application form afresh for each academic year they wish their child to be considered.
