Admissions
Test
Admissions Tests are used to assess the skills and abilities of your child before embarking upon the English National Curriculum or IB Programme of study.
Once your child is registered, he/she will be invited to attend an Assessment Day which will take place at the school. In addition, we will request reports from your child’s current school. Every child enjoys the opportunity of speaking to the Key Stage Co-ordinator and taking a tour of the School, and meeting some of our current students. We know from experience that this process allows us to learn more about your child than the completion of written papers alone. It also allows for your child to experience life at the School.
