Our main entry points are at Year 7 and Sixth Form in September, other entry points are considered to be Occasional Places.

If you would like to inform us of your interest should a place become available, please fill in our 2024 Entry Enquiry Form. For any mid-year places that may become available, assessment will be offered and subsequent places filled as soon as possible.

For September 2025 entry, we expect to know if we have any spaces to offer by the end of the Easter Break next year.

If you would like to register in advance for an Occasional Place, please complete an online registration form and submit the £180 (including VAT) registration fee. Once registered, you will automatically be contacted should a place become available and an invitation to attend an assessment will be offered.

The assessment currently used for Occasional Places is a Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4), which is an online diagnostic assessment taken on-site at our school. This is designed to help us to understand how pupils learn, what their academic potential might be and how they are likely to perform should they be offered a place. Please note that this form of testing cannot be prepared for. The test will take approximately two hours to complete, which is inclusive of extra time should it be required. Following the testing session, an informal interview with the Principal or Head will be arranged, and a school reference will also be requested and given due consideration.

Access Arrangements 

We are able to grant access arrangements, such as extra time or use of a computer, for the examinations to support those applicants with a diagnosed special educational need or disability. Any request for access arrangements needs to be supported by a written report from a recognised educational professional, dated within two years of the published assessment date. The request for access arrangements must be submitted, along with all other written documentation, by the published registration deadline. Evidence of history for the need of this provision will be sought from the applicant's current school.

When considering access arrangements, they will only be awarded if the applicant would be granted the concessions in external formal exams, in line with the most recently published Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) Regulations (2024-2025).

Please submit copies of any relevant reports confirming the details of the specific arrangements when completing the online registration form. Any concessions awarded for the examinations will only be confirmed once the relevant reports have been received and reviewed.
