Applications
All applications for entry must be accompanied by a completed admissions form. An application will only be considered to have been made once the registration fee has been paid. Applications are considered in order of registration.
If there are no places available at the time of application, a successful applicant will be offered a place on the waiting list. At the discretion of the Principal, priority may be given to siblings of children who already attend or have attended the school. Acceptance of a place on the waiting list does not commit the applicant to acceptance of a place once one becomes available.
Acceptance of Places
Below the age of four, children are accepted, following a meeting with the Nursery Manager or Principal. Between 4 and 11 children are accepted following an interview with the Principal and a two-day visit to the school, during which we assess the child and whether we are able to meet the child’s individual needs.
Entry to the Senior School involves an interview with the Principal and two trial days for pupils from other schools. Pupils already in the Prep School are automatically offered a place in the Senior School, subject to the receipt of a deposit confirming acceptance of this place, in the November prior to entry.
All Year 7 entrants to the Senior School are invited to an Assessment Day which takes place in the first half of the Spring term. From the results of the morning tests in English, Maths and Verbal Reasoning, Academic Scholarships are awarded. During the afternoon, children who apply for an All Rounder Award are interviewed by the Principal. The results of the Assessment Day are made known to parents within two weeks of the Assessment Day.
Written confirmation of an offer of a child’s place at Oakhill College is issued and the parent contract is included with the offer/confirmation letter.
