Start and submit your application by using our online application system. Please contact our Admissions team if you have any questions about the application process.

At the end of your online application, you will be required to pay a non-refundable application fee of £300 (inc. VAT) (per application). The bank details will be provided at the end of your application. We do not currently accept debit or credit cards.

Once your application is complete including receipt of all references and payment of the application fee it will be carefully reviewed by our Admissions Committee. This process typically takes 7–10 working days

You will be contacted directly by our Admissions Team with the outcome:

• If your application is successful and a place is available, you will receive a formal offer. Your offer will include the first term’s invoice, which must be paid in order to secure your child’s place.
• If your application is successful but a place is not immediately available for your preferred entry point, your child will be placed on our waiting list. We will remain in contact and notify you as soon as a place becomes available.
