The principal points of admission are at 4+ (Reception), 8+ (Year 4), 11+ (Year 7), 13+ (Year 9) and 16+ (Sixth Form), with pupils occasionally being admitted in other year groups.

There are generally 15 – 20 places available in Year 4. Admission at 8+ is via our 8+ assessments in literacy and numeracy. Candidates are also assessed for their sociability and communication skills within an informal classroom setting.
