HOW TO APPLY

To make an overseas application, we invite you to get in touch with our International Admissions team. They will provide you with an application form which should be completed and returned with the registration fee.

The Admissions team will guide you through the assessment process which considers the student’s suitability for a place at the School. This includes an interview with the Headmaster and online testing to assess verbal, non-verbal, mathematical, and spatial reasoning ability. We will also require two references, one of which should be from the pupil’s current school, along with academic results from the past three years.

Successful applicants who are offered a place at the school will then be guided through the visa process as required.

Applications can be made to us via an educational agent/consultant or directly with the School.

A happy boarding community

Our boarding house offers a home-from-home where our pupils feel happy and relaxed as part of our warm family community. With ensuite bedrooms, a sociable common room and stunning grounds in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside, we offer a boarding experience like no other.
