Junior Admissions

We are delighted that you are considering an application to the Junior School.

Our main entry point is at 4+ into Reception where we typically admit two classes in the region of 22 pupils per class. We offer a handful of additional places at 7+ (Year 3) as our class sizes increase slightly to 24 pupils per class. For all other year groups, we offer an Occasional Vacancy admissions process, although we are not able to guarantee the availability of places.

We assess every girl who is interested in joining us; our aim is for the admissions process to be fun and stimulating for girls, and simple and stress-free for parents.

Before you apply, we would encourage you to join us at one of our Open Events where you will have an opportunity to see the school, learn more about our academic ethos and leading co-curricular programme, and speak with members of staff.
