2024 Admissions Cycle Commences
Following the March acceptance deadline and with the College looking forward to welcoming its new pupils to the school in September, the Admissions Team has now turned its attention to entry for 2024.
Entrance Examinations, for entry to the school in September 2024, will take place on Saturday 11 November 2023 and we are already busy accepting registrations.
For 2024 entry we have expanded the number of categories of scholarships available for particularly able or talented candidates.
The scholarships available range from Academic, Art and Performing Arts (Choral, Drama, Music, Musical Theatre including Dance) to Sport.
In addition, exceptional candidates who are both academically able and gifted and talented across a number of areas may be considered for an All-Rounder Scholarship, which would be awarded at the discretion of the Headmaster. Means-tested Bursaries are also available, along with The Thomas More Scholarship a means-tested scholarship for Catholic children, who attend a Catholic state primary school.
There are plenty of opportunities for prospective pupils and their parents to visit the College before the Entrance Exams take place; including our Summer Open Evening in June and Open Afternoon in September, as well as the Year 5 Taster Days in May and June.
Comments Melanie Butler, Assistant Head, Marketing, Admissions and Communications, "Parents and pupils will have plenty of time to prepare and opportunities to visit the College in the run up to the registration deadline on Friday 29 September."
Following the Entrance Exams, offer letters will be sent out on Thursday 30 November 2023 and the acceptance deadlines will be Monday 11 December 2023 for Years 8, 9 and 10 and Tuesday 5 March 2024 for Year 7. The acceptance deadline for Year 7 places is, by a nationally agreed code of practice, the same for all independent schools, allowing parents and children time to review all their options, including those from the maintained sector, before making a final decision.
