Throughout our entry process we want to see your daughter’s natural potential and therefore the examinations are only a part of assessment prior to a place being offered.
The completion of a registration form and the payment of the registration fee do not guarantee a place, but will ensure that the appropriate documentation for subsequent stages in the admissions procedure is dispatched in good time.
