Occasional Places
Occasional places may be offered in certain year groups. Children joining our Junior School benefit from small class sizes, a broad curriculum and a nurturing atmosphere where curiosity and creativity are encouraged.
Children who wish to enter the Junior School outside of the standard entry points are assessed on the basis of age appropriate Entrance Assessments, a school report and/or reference from your child’s current Headteacher, and an interview.
Senior School
Occasional Places
Occasional Places is the term we use for joining the school in a year group other than Year 7 – ie, Years 8, 9 or 10 – and can occur at any time in the school year. Pupils joining at this stage are supported to integrate quickly, with dedicated pastoral care and a wide range of academic and co-curricular opportunities.
Students who apply for occasional places are required to undertake a similar pattern of assessments, including an interview, and provide a reference from their current Head Teacher.
Please note financial assistance, including fee waivers and scholarships are not available for occasional place entry.
To enquire whether an occasional place may be available, please register your interest in the usual way, by creating a parent account on Applicaa, and a member of the Admissions Team will contact you.
Pupils across the school are highly motivated and keen to learn. They demonstrate confidence and curiosity in their learning and ask thoughtful questions to deepen their understanding and extend their knowledge. They value and make good use of the teachers’ wholehearted commitment to supporting pupils’ learning.
