Admissions
Initial enquiry, then an individual tour led by Form 6 pupils including meeting the headmaster. After registration, the child attends a taster day (nursery: an hour or so). The school is non-selective; entry depends on coping with the pace of work and social interaction, followed by a formal offer.
