Admissions

Admissions The school welcomes applications throughout the year for children aged 2–18 (Early Years through Sixth Form), with one class per year group and limited places. The admissions process has five steps: 1. Say hello — contact the admissions team by filling in the enquiry form or by phone or email. 2. Come and visit — you will be shown around the campus and meet a Head of Learning who can answer questions. 3. Formalise your application — provide academic reports from the last two years and any other relevant assessments. From Year 3 onwards, your child completes a short assessment in English and Maths. 4. Receive an offer letter — enrollment documents are completed and you are offered a place or added to the waiting list. 5. Start your adventure — once a place is confirmed, practical steps are provided before the first day. | Admissions Submit Preliminary Enquiry Form for admission. The form is available for download and initiates the admissions process. It helps the college provide relevant information about entry timelines and next steps. This form is the first step for prospective families seeking a place at Queen's College. Entry to Queen's College is through interview and assessment at all levels. The process ensures candidates are suitable for the program and community. Applicants from other schools must provide academic reports and, if requested, a character reference from their Head Teacher. The college may request additional information during the admissions process. Pupils coming from other schools must provide copies of their most recent academic reports. If requested, a personal reference from the Head Teacher may be provided. The school requires that all applicants (except nursery) have a good grasp of the English language, spoken and written, at a level appropriate to their stage of development. The form of assessment depends on the level of entry. Primary Department pupils spend a morning in the classroom to experience life at Queen's and to help the class teacher assess suitability. Secondary Department pupils take a test in English and Mathematics and, where applicable, Spanish. Sixth Form (years 12 and 13) entry depends on GCSE results and a personal reference from the previous school. |
