When do applications open?
The pre-registration form is open all year. Assessment days for the next school year run from November to February; if places remain, we also admit students over the summer.

Five steps from October to June. To get to know your child we look more at conversation than tests, more at curiosity than reports.
October – January
Once you complete the form, admissions calls you within two working days and suggests a visit time. On the visit you sit in on lessons and meet the head of section.
November – February
There is no test in primary; a play and reading session with a teacher. From Grade 5, there is an English placement and maths assessment. Results are used only for class placement and language support.
February – March
A 40-minute meeting with the head of section and, where useful, the school counsellor. We talk about your child's interests, where they may need support and your expectations.
March – April
Within two weeks of the offer letter, the enrolment contract is signed and the deposit paid. Documents needed for final enrolment are collected at school at this stage, with a separate privacy notice.
May – June
New students spend a June morning in their future class; families moving from abroad attend a "first week" session and are matched with a PTA family.
Once you complete the form, admissions calls you within two working days and suggests a visit or assessment day.
This form asks only for your name, contact details, your child's year of birth and the grade you are interested in. We do not ask for health information, ID numbers or photos; anything needed for final enrolment is collected at school, in person.
