Junior Admissions
We are delighted that you are considering the Junior School for your daughter.
We realise that choosing the right school can seem daunting, therefore we aim for our admissions process to be fun and stimulating for girls, and simple and stress-free for parents.
Entry into the Junior School is selective. Our main entry point is at 4+ into Reception where we admit two classes, typically 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 around 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.
A pupil’s year group is strictly determined by their age on 1 September in the year of admission. Thus a pupil born on 31 August will be the youngest in their year group and a pupil born on 1 September will be the oldest in the following year group.
Visit Us
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.

4+ Overview
Our 4+ assessments are held in January of the year of entry, with all applicants invited into the Junior School in small groups of similarly aged children. The girls are invited to play, join in with some musical activities and carry out a few tasks linked to early maths, language and literacy in a friendly, nursery-style environment. At 4+ we are looking for potential, rather than what has already been learnt.
We are sorry to say that, due to the nature of the assessments, it is not possible for girls to be assessed overseas or remotely.

Please note, we may not conduct another assessment for your preferred year of entry.
Registrations for September 2026 and September 2027 are open although we recommend families wait until the summer of the year before entry to register. Please be assured that no priority is given to early registrations.

- a passport style (head and shoulders) photo of your daughter in JPEG or PNG format

Where a candidate is successful in the assessment, but no spaces are available in the relevant year group, they will be placed on a waiting list. Please do get in touch with Junior School admissions if you would like to discuss this.
