FAQs
Children are assessed in different ways depending on their age.
Aged 2 to 4. Your child will meet with teachers and a small group of children of the same age to
determine age-related language and other developmental milestones. A discovery discussion between you and teachers will follow to help us get to know you and your child.
Aged 5 to 6. Your child will meet a teacher for a one-to-one assessment, which will consider
literacy, numeracy, and reasoning, as well as developmental progress and social skills. A
discovery discussion between you and teachers will follow to help us get to know you and your
child.
Aged 7 to 12. Assessments in literacy, numeracy and reasoning skills will take place. An
interview to establish their broader interests and character will follow. Further assessment of
non-academic potential and talents may be appropriate.
Aged 13 to 16. Academic assessment will take place, either through consideration of formal
Public Examination results or through assessment in numeracy, literacy, reasoning and other specific subjects as required. An interview to establish your child’s broader interests and
character will follow. Further assessment of non-academic potential and talents may also take place.

Following the assessment, parents/guardians will be informed either that:
- a) The entry requirements have been met and a place is to be offered, or
- b) The entry requirements have been met, but no places are available and so the pupil’s name is to be added to the waiting list, or
- c) In order to make a final decision, further information is required — perhaps in respect of English skills or special educational needs, or
- d) The entry requirements have not been met, so no place can be offered at this stage.
