The main entry point for new pupils in Senior School is Senior 1 levels, but we are delighted to consider pupils for a limited number of places in other years.
There is a non-refundable registration fee of £35.
Entry to the Senior School involves an assessment. This process provides a valuable opportunity for both the School and the parents to ensure that pupils are placed in an environment which is suited to their own set of abilities and needs.
Each application is carefully evaluated on an individual basis, taking into account the outcome of the assessment and reference from the child's previous school, where appropriate.
Senior 1 Assessments will take place on Friday 13 January 2012. Assessments for other years will be by arrangement with Admissions Secretary.
Offers of S1 places for Session 2012/13 will be posted on Thursday 16 February 2012 and the replies must be returned to us by Tuesday 28 February.
On acceptance of a place there will be a non-refundable acceptance fee of £250.
Fees are reviewed annually in May for the following session. Fees for Session 2011/12 are as follows:
| Senior School | £9,606 |
