After visiting the school, most parents submit a registration form. All girls entering the Senior School in Year 7 are automatically considered for Scholarships.

All parent of Girls entering the Senior School who wish to apply for a bursary need to complete and submit an additional form. These can be obtained from the Admission Secretary.

We ideally need these returned by the entrance exam so all applicants can have equal consideration. The application form should be sent with a non-refundable fee of £40 to our Admissions Secretary.

Girls and parents will then be invited to have an informal meeting with the Head. This is not a formal part of the selection procedure.  It is designed to make your daughter feel more at home when she comes in for the assessment and to give you the opportunity to ask any further questions you may have, or to tell us of any special circumstances which you feel we need to take into account when assessing your daughter.

After this your daughter will be invited for assessment. This is carried out at the following times:

Early Years: Throughout the year

Junior School: Throughout the year

Senior School:  9th January (13th January Reserve)

Sixth Form: Throughout November

Before the day you will receive a letter confirming her attendance. Should your application arrive after the entrance examination date we will arrange an individual sitting if there are still places available.

We aim to make offers by the middle of February. At this point we ask successful candidates for a holding deposit of £500. If for any reason your application is successful but you can't take up your place we would ask us if you can let us know immediately so we can make the place re-available.

We invite all girls to a welcome day to allow them to meet their new classmates and to ensure that they’re fully prepared for the start of their first term with us.

If you have any further questions about the admissions procedure please don't hesitate to contact the school Admissions Secretary on 01273 734112.
