Entry Requirements
Moderately selective. Early years involves informal classroom taster observations. Entry into the Prep School proper (Years 3–7) requires an on-site taster day involving digital cognitive ability/baseline tracking screenings (English and Maths), a personal chat with the Headmaster, and a supportive reference/report from the candidate’s current school.
Key Dates for Admissions
Operates a rolling admissions strategy throughout the school year, dependent on physical seat availability. Major open events are typically hosted in May and October. Early registration is strongly advised—especially for families pursuing boarding house allocations or internal scholarship consideration pathways.
