Children may join the Nursery class in the September following their third birthday. Registration is required in order to secure an invitation to our Nursery taster events.

Children may enter our reception class in the Pre-Prep from their fourth birthday, which should fall on or before 31 August in their year of entry.

Entry into Years 1 to 6 is also possible, dependent on availability. Registration will enable an invitation for assessment into these year groups.

The Lower School (Year 7 and 8) is very much part of our vibrant College community. Working with the Head of Lower School, a dedicated Housemistress and team of Form Tutors ensure that every child is happy, fulfilled and appropriately challenged.

The admissions process for 11+ starts in Year 6. Registration is recommended at least one year prior to entry. Families are encouraged to visit the College to get a flavour of the school, and we also offer a number of of Taster Days prior to assessment for prospective Year 7 pupils.
