Pre-Prep Department
There are no entry tests at this level. Children are invited in for a period assessment which could be a morning or a day. Places tend to fill quickly so early applications are advised. For more details contact the Headmaster's PA.
Junior Prep
At this level children are again invited in for a period of assessment which could be a morning or usually a day and are assigned a pupil as a mentor for the day. During that time there is a short academic assessment which gives a very good indication that children can cope satisfactorily in a more demanding learning environment. School reports and general school records are also taken into account.
