HOW TO APPLY

Our usual entry points are 4+, 7+, 11+ and 16+ but occasionally interim places become available. Please get in touch with us to discuss your daughter’s needs.

Our application process

1

We use an Admissions software called Applicaa, which is where you will need to complete a form to enquire about visiting our school and, ultimately where you apply for a place.

Make an enquiry

2

We have a range of opportunities to explore our school, from our Whole School Saturday Open Morning, to ‘School in Action’ mornings where you see us on a normal day, Discovery & Exploration Sessions where your daughter can try out what it’s like to be at our school, as well as personal tours.

Once you decide that our school is the one for your daughter, you need to complete the application form that you started when making your initial enquiry. At Year 7 and 12 you may select the option to be considered for a Bursary or Scholarship at this stage. A fee of £150 (£240 for international pupils) is payable to apply for a place, unless you are in receipt of Universal Credit.

Occasionally places become available across year groups, but our standard entry points and timeframes for application are below:

4+ and 7+ December

11+  November

16+ October

Exact dates will be updated in the summer term.
