Age of Entrance: 8-year-olds
The normal age of entry to the college is for those aged 8 years old, on 1st September in the year of entry.
We do not accept younger students, but we hope to provide for them in the future through a different ministry.
Places for children joining at an older age are subject to availability. We currently only have room for seven students per age group. Once that age group has reached seven students, it is full. We do not normally accept children who are older than 11 on 1st September in the year of entry.
Students joining aged above 8 years old may be placed in a younger age group, may miss certain topics and/or may sit fewer GCSE exams, depending on their entry point and abilities. We can discuss specific family circumstances during the Open Day.
