2. ADMISSIONS JOURNEY
We encourage all families to join our next open event, or to visit the College for a personal tour.
To accept the offer , parents must complete the Guaranteed Place Form and return it to the College with the acceptance deposit. Upon completion of the Guaranteed Place Form, parents accept the payment terms and acknowledge that the offer maybe conditional on relevant final examinations.
The first formal stage of the admissions process is registration , which is open to children of any age. Once the registration form has been completed and returned to the College, along with the non-refundable £190 registration fee, applicants can be considered for entry. Prospective pupils and their families will then be invited to have a personal tour whereby they will meet a member of our Senior Leadership Team, have a house tour by a Housemistress or Housemaster, a tour of the school by a current pupil and then have a chat with a member of our admissions team who will address any questions and discuss next steps. Once a pupil has been registered, admissions will request a reference from their current school. Parents will be required to provide copies of the pupil’s two most recent school reports, a full birth certificate and valid passport. Those whose first language is not English will need to sit an online independent test for international pupils. It will measure the following principal areas: English, non-verbal, verbal, and quantitative and spatial reasoning. Offers to attend the College will then be sent out dependent on year group/year of entry and conditional on performance in relevant examinations and entry criteria.
In the September of Year 8, pupils’ will have the opportunity to apply for a range of scholarships. Applying to a scholarship gives families access to the means-tested bursary application process. If the means-tested bursary team establish that there is a financial need, a decision will be made by our finance team on how much fee remission they can award a pupil. If there is any financial concern, parents should not sign the Guaranteed Place Form until they receive this outcome.
In the event of cancellation or withdrawal , fees may have to be paid in lieu, or applicants may lose their deposit. Please refer to the College Terms and Conditions for more information about notice periods and associated penalties.
