Entrance Assessment Morning usually happens in early December for entry the following September. The school aims to share whether a child has passed within 10 days and by the close of that term. If a child has passed, they may be placed on a waiting list while places become available between January and March. Year 7 pupils with a firm place are invited to two induction days.
