We strongly encourage parents of girls who wish to apply for a place at 4+ or 7+ to come one of our School in Action Mornings, giving them the opportunity to look around the Junior School whilst lessons are in progress. Upon arrival, refreshments will be available, followed by a talk from the Head of the Junior School giving information about the admissions process. Junior School girls will act as tour guides, showing parents around the classrooms and the school facilities.

Parents are most welcome to bring their daughters to the Open Day on Saturday 25^th September so that they can follow a ‘Junior School Trail', experience the activities and visit the classrooms used for the assessments.

Admission to the First School (4+) -40 places

Girls enter the Reception class in the First School in their 5th year. Thus, for September 2011 entry, girls must have a date of birth between 1 September 2006 and 31 August 2007. We register applications for entry in September in the period between May and November of the previous year. Applications for 2011 entry is now open and the closing date is 15th November 2010.

Our assessment process is in two stages and takes place in January. We are looking for what the girls can do and not what they cannot. We do not expect a candidate to be able to read or write. The assessment comprises:

Part 1 - "Play" activities lasting about an hour in groups of about 10 children.

Part 2 - A smaller group of girls are recalled for the second round which includes a one-to-one assessment of each girl.

Girls spend three years in the First School and move up to the Junior School in Year 3 when they are aged seven.
