Junior School Entry

We have an Open Morning on a Saturday in October when there is a full programme of classes and activities and all the girls and staff are present, followed by an Open Afternoon in May. Further drop in sessions are timetabled throughout the school year. Girls show visitors round and this provides an excellent opportunity to talk to pupils and teachers about the school.

Joining the Junior School

Children are admitted to the Junior department at any age from 5 to 10+.

Parents should make an appointment to visit, with or without their child, according to their own preference. They will see the Headmistress and the Head of the Junior Department, who will show them round the school and discuss any queries they may have.

Next, the prospective pupil should be registered and then she should arrange to spend a day at school in normal classes with her own age group. During the day her teachers will assess her informally, and give her the opportunity to interact socially with the other children.

Following a successful visit the pupil will receive a formal offer of a place and parents are asked to complete an acceptance form and pay a deposit.

The school will then keep in touch with parents until the pupil starts.

In the Summer Term new girls and their parents are invited for an induction afternoon to familiarise themselves with procedures and details ready for their start next term.

Registered potential boarding pupils are welcome to spend a trial night at school, and all registered prospective pupils can spend an extra day at school with the appropriate class if they would like to.
