Questions about admissions
Yes, when there is a place in the year group. The same steps apply, usually over about three weeks.
Early Years and Year 1 often fill before applications close and keep a waiting list. Other years usually have places into the summer.
The assessment is not a pass or fail. It tells us where your child is, so we can say honestly how we would support them.
The standard schedule is three instalments. Monthly payments can be arranged with the school office at no extra cost.
A limited number of partial bursaries are available each year. Apply at the same time as your application; the decisions are made separately.
