Admissions Procedure
Contact the Admissions Secretary
To view the School, register your child or book an assessment, please contact Mrs Helen Parker on 01372 723590 or via email. Mrs Parker will also be happy to answer any of your admissions queries.
Initial Contact and Parent Visit
Prospective parents who
show an interest in the School are invited to visit, either on an Open Morning
or on an alternative day which suits them, when they will be given a tour
of the School by a Senior boy and have an opportunity to see the School in
action and meet the Headmaster and SENco if necessary. When you visit, please park at the front of the School, by the minibuses.
Registration
If you would like to register your child for a place at Kingswood House, please contact the Admissions Secretary, Mrs Helen Parker, on 01372 723590 or by email. You will also need to pay a Registration Fee of £100 before being assessed.
Assessment Day
A mutually agreed day will
be arranged for the child to attend the school (a morning visit for
Nursery and Kindergarten and a whole day for Reception to Year 8). During the Assessment Day the child will have the opportunity to experience
a day at Kingswood House and meet the peer group of the class. During
this visit, the SENco will meet with the child on 1:1 basis to talk and do
a few informal tests to assess the level of performance. At the end
of the child’s visit, the Headmaster or SENco will meet the parents
to discuss the assessment.
Offering a Place
Following assessment it may not be possible
to offer a place immediately. The Headmaster or SENco may not have been able
to receive feedback from the relevant teaching staff or information may be
required from the child’s
existing school. If the child is suitable and a place is available then an offer will be
made. Written confirmation will be sent and once accepted Joining Details
will follow.
Academic Scholarships
In November, a Saturday morning is set
aside for meeting and testing Academic Scholarship candidates at age 6+. Application
Forms are available from the School Office.
Please Note: Parents have a responsibility to inform the prospective school of any issues/conditions and disclose any reports both medical and academic relating to the applicant. Withholding information may necessitate the school reviewing their offer of a place.
