Our Preparatory School is made up of our Reception Class and Years 1 to 6. We are a selective school and therefore places are offered at the discretion of the Headteacher and following our admissions processes below. As a guideline, applicants should be performing academically at nationally expected levels. We welcome applications mid-year for all year groups, subject to the availability of places.
