Applications for entrance in September 2010 must be received by Tuesday 12th January 2010.

Entrance Examination

The examination, which will be held on Tuesday 19th January 2010, comprises English, Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning tests and is used alongside reports provided by the Head of your child's current school.

A booklet with full details of the examination syllabus and specimen questions is sent to parents on receipt of an application form.

Interview

The final stage of the entrance procedure takes the form of two informal interviews: one for parents with either the Headmaster, Director of Studies or Head of Lower School, and one for the child, who meets and talks to a member of the teaching staff.

Application Forms

Applications forms and all correspondence concerning admissions should be sent to the Headmaster's Secretary, Mrs Judy Baker. Applications for places in years other than the First Year may be considered.

Equal Opportunities

Our pupils come from a broad spectrum of backgrounds. We welcome applications from both independent and maintained primary schools from pupils who are keen to do well.

Open Events

Because your child's future is so important we want to help you with your choice as much as possible. Our Open Events in the Autumn term are designed to show important aspects of school life and you are invited to attend one of these before the Entrance Examination in January.

Tours

Parent Tours are also available. To book a place, please contact the External Relations department on 0161 419 2408.
