Entry into the Pre-Prep and Prep School

Our nurturing Pre-Prep is from Reception to Year 2 and Prep is from Year 3 to Year 8. Children can join at any stage, and we pride ourselves on how quickly they settle into school life.

The most popular entry points are:

Reception, when our broad, fun curriculum with small classes and wrap around care is attractive to many families. We also offer holiday clubs.
Year 3, when the Prep School begins
Year 5 and 6, when parents would prefer their child to be in a school which values breadth and does not put their children through SATs or formal exams
Year 7, when, after Primary School, some children will apply through our scholarship process (link to scholarship page)
