Admissions to Grosvenor 2009

We aim to keep our admissions process as easy, quick and friendly as we possibly can.

We invite you to visit us on our annual Saturday Open Day or one of our monthly Open Mornings. The former is an informal drop-in, with guides available and activities on show, whereas the latter gives you the chance to be a ‘fly on the wall’ on a school day.

Some people like to start with a bespoke tour which is by appointment and arranged at a mutually convenient time. This gives the chance to spend more time with the Headmaster and, again, see the school in action.

Please ring the school office to arrange any of the above.

Once you have visited School, met the pupils and staff and witnessed the caring and stimulating environment that has prepared so many for the future, you will need to complete a registration form. This places your child’s name on the school list and starts the formal process of entry.

Children under 4 years old are offered places on a first come first served basis within the limitations of getting a balanced class. They will then be invited into school for an afternoon in the term prior to entry and parents will be invited to an information evening to ensure an easy transition into school. Before-hand we will have given you various useful pieces of information such as your Parents Handbook.

Children over 4 will be invited to spend a day in school with their prospective class so we can meet them and they us. They can then experience the fun and supportive atmosphere for themselves. After a successful visit we will offer a place.

After the age of 8 we conduct an assessment to ensure your child will feel at home with the work that we are doing and to give us a better understanding of any areas of the Curriculum that will need particular attention or support. As above, a successful visit results in an offer of a place.

Through this process we hope you will experience the start of the more personalised approach to education that Grosvenor offers which results in our small, friendly and dynamic school offering such success to our pupils.
