Yes. The school conducts age-appropriate entry assessments for all prospective students prior to enrolment

The type of assessment varies by year group: Nursery / Foundation 1: A basic skills and developmental assessment covering speech, language and communication, physical development, and personal, social and emotional development (PSED). Reception / Foundation 2: As above, with additional assessment of physical development, including fine motor skills. Years 1–6: A basic skills assessment aligned with national expectations in English and Mathematics, conducted by the class teacher. Pupils are expected to meet end-of-year expectations appropriate to their chronological age. Where further evidence of ability is required, students may be invited to a Taster Day. Years 7–10: Students sit an age-related assessment in English, along with a CAT test. Year 10 applicants joining after the start of the academic year also complete an English assessment and the YELLIS assessment, based on their option choices. Sixth Form (Year 12): Entry is subject to meeting specific academic entry conditions, which may include assessment outcomes, in line with Sixth Form admission criteria.

After this point, the waiting list is closed and availability is reviewed for subsequent admissions

Admissions for the new academic year open in January of each year and remain open until the end of Term 2 of the new academic year, subject to availability.
