ADMISSIONS & SCHOLARSHIPS
16+
Scholarships
For those entering the school at 16+, selection is based on predicted GCSE grades. Sixth Form applicants are expected to achieve a minimum of six subjects at Grades 9 to 5 (including Mathematics and English) at GCSE. International equivalents are also accepted. Students are expected to have at least Grade 6 at GCSE (or equivalent) in the subjects they wish to study at A level. All Sixth Form applicants will also attend an interview with the Head of Sixth Form. Applications for entry to the Sixth Form are considered on a rolling basis, however, an early application is advised.
Scholarships are available at all entry points for students demonstrating exceptional academic ability or outstanding achievement in music, art, drama, or sport. Scholarships take the form of a tuition fee reduction which is valid for the duration of a student’s period of study with us. Students wishing to apply for a scholarship should indicate this at the point of application. The deadline for scholarship applications for students applying for 11+, 13+, and 16+entry is in the November of the year preceding entry.
Kensington Park School is looking for well-rounded individuals who will benefit from the broad-ranging academic and co-curricular opportunities the school has to offer.

We run regular Open Events throughout the year, and also welcome individual visits by appointment.

The main points of entry are in Year 7 (11+), Year 9 (13+), and Year 12 (16+), however, the school may have occasional places in other year groups. We also welcome applications from overseas students, and sponsorship is available for students applying for full boarding from
Year 9 (13+). Further information regarding international admissions can be found on our website. 11+ and 13+ Students applying for entry to the school at 11+ and 13+ sit entrance assessments in English, Mathematics, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
