The Application Process
Here is an example of the Admissions Process: The main point of entry into Queen Mary’s is in September, although we do accept applications for entry throughout the year, subject to availability.
Open Days and Individual Visits
We offer a number of Open Days or we can arrange an individual visit at a date and time to suit you.
Registration
Following an Open Morning or individual visit, the process of registration will ensure that your child’s name is added to our entrance list, guaranteeing that you will receive all correspondence and be invited to key events.
Taster Days and Overnight Sleepovers
Taster days and overnight sleepovers allow you to meet friends in your potential new class and experience lessons, extra-curricular activities and more to ensure a smooth transition into the school.
Assessment
During the admissions process an age-appropriate assessment is undertaken to enable staff to understand you and what we can offer you at Queen Mary’s. For Senior School admissions there is an Assessment Day. In line with Queen Mary’s culture, high expectations and nurturing ethos, we will take a holistic approach with exciting activities alongside written assessment. The size of our school allows us to take a truly bespoke approach to education tailored to each individual, so if you have any questions, queries or concerns around any part of the assessment, we would be happy to discuss this with you.
Scholarships
If you are wishing to join Queen Mary’s Senior School you may wish to be assessed for an Academic, Art, Music, Riding or Sport Scholarship.
