Our Admissions Journey

Our admissions journey consists of four key stages:

A. Initial Inquiry:

B. Visit the School:

  • Open Mornings: When you sign up to an Open Morning, you can experience our workings on a regular school day, with guided tours led by our pupils and a Q&A session with senior staff, including the Head.
  • Private Tours: Book a personal tour by contacting our Registrar. The tour includes being shown around our school by the children, and a meeting with the Head of Byron House and the Head.

C. Registration:

  • After meeting with the Head, if Å·ÃÀ×ÔÅÄ is the right choice for your child, we encourage you to complete a registration form and submit a fee of £50.

D. Getting to Know Your Child:

  •  The final stage varies by age group and may include an assessment for older children.
