Any families who wish their child to be considered for an occasional place, should contact the Registrar, Alycia Lee, by email in the first instance. At this stage only basic details will be required, such as the school that your child is in now, a copy of their most recent school report and details of the most recent standardised assessments, such as CATs, where taken. Any information provided will be treated in a strictly confidential manner and we will not contact your child’s existing school at this stage. After the documents are supplied we will let you know whether it is likely that your child would be considered, should a place become available.

If an occasional place becomes firmly available, then we will contact you as soon as possible. At this point, you will again need supply us with your child’s most recent data, if this has changed. This data must again include their most recent school report if this has been updated since documents were first supplied.

Following this, we may then invite your child to come to the School for a morning or afternoon for an informal interview with a senior member of staff and some further age-appropriate written tests, most likely in English or Maths. This work will be similar to the type of work being completed by his peers in this school at the time and must be done in person – we are unable to carry out these tests remotely. We will also require a reference for your child from their headteacher at their existing school.

Following this process, we will contact you to let you know whether the application for an occasional place has been successful, almost always for the start of the next academic year in September. If this is the case, a deposit will be payable, as is usual when any offer is made, and all parts of the School’s Terms and Conditions will apply.
