1st Year Admissions

The application process is all online - responses will also be sent out by email. It is important that applicants keep an eye on their email for acceptances. Once an offer is made an applicant will be given a defined period of time to accept. After this period and the place has not been accepted, the offer will be cancelled and offered to the next student on the waiting list.

Please note in accordance with the admissions act a student can only accept one place at a time in one school. Schools share enrolment data and students who maintain places in more than one school can have their placed declined by all schools.

Our Admissions Policy can be found here and our 2025/26 Admissions Notice can be found here.

The school hosts an open evening every year for sixth class students and their parents. This gives students an opportunity to see the school and experience subjects first hand.

During 6th class, students will sit an assessment test and will choose their optional subjects. Parents may also apply for the school’s book rental scheme.
