Children registering for a place in Year 9 will be asked to sit ISEB pre-tests in their own prep school between 1st October and 1st December of Year 6.
Children successful at this stage will then be invited to an Orientation Day on 9th February 2024. This involves assessments and interviews, but most importantly will give your child a chance to get to know the College through a day of exciting lessons and activities.
