Joining Reception
Our entry procedure for Reception has changed and for September 2024 entry and beyond we will be running a Ballot - find out more about our decision to change this here.
Our Reception (4+) Admissions Process
The main entry point to our Junior School is at 4 years old into Reception. Places for Reception are allocated by Ballot. Girls can be registered for entry at 4+ at any time from birth, although we must emphasise that no priority is given to early registrants. The registration fee is £150 (£200 if applying from overseas) and is non-refundable.
Calculate your daughter's year of entry using the table below:
| Date of Birth | Reception (4+) Entry Year | Registration Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| 1 September 2019 - 31 August 2020 | September 2024 | Registrations are now closed |
| 1 September 2020 - 31 August 2021 | September 2025 | End September 2024 |
| 1 September 2021 - 31 August 2022 | September 2026 | End September 2025 |

Please note: it is also a requirement for parents to visit the school at least once at one of our Open Events, before their daughter is entered into our Ballot draw. The Ballot is drawn in early October and offers made soon afterwards for entry to the school the following September. Girls not offered a place by ballot are placed on our waiting list.
