Apply online
Entry into Reception in September 2027 is for girls born between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2023. All applicants must be able to attend the assessment sessions in person. The application deadline is Friday 9th October.
First assessment
All children who have applied will be invited in small groups of a similar birth month to join us for a 'play date' assessment in early November 2026. Girls are not asked to read or write during the assessment sessions and no preparation is advised.
Second assessment
Approximately half this number will be invited to return in smaller groups during the middle of January for a second assessment. At this point, references will be requested from their current nursery if relevant.
Offers
Offers will be made at the end of January 2027 with an acceptance deadline in early February, when a deposit of £4,000 is payable to secure her place.
