Apply for a place at the school using our online form. The application fee payment of £100 must be made via the payment platform before your application will be processed.
Our Head of Admissions, Mrs McKell, is available to answer any questions you have.
Prospective pupils will be invited to sit an admissions exam. Places are offered based on academic aptitude but may not be offered in rank order as other factors, outlined in the Admissions Policy, are also taken into account. The entrance exam for Year 7 consists of papers in English and Mathematics. Specimen papers are available to download via the links below.
Further details about the key dates for 2024 entry are below. For families looking for entry in 2025, this gives a broad indication of the timeline. Dates for admission in 2025 will be published soon.
References will be sought from the applicant’s current school, following receipt of the application form.
We invite all prospective parents/guardians to an interview at the school. This is an integral part of the admissions process and the admissions office will help you to find a convenient date to meet Mrs Sanders, the headmistress, or another member of the senior leadership team.
Prospective pupils have an interview with a member of the school leadership team. This allows us the opportunity to learn more about each individual applicant and for them to find out more about life at The Laurels. Year 7 entrants normally are interviewed as part of a small group on entrance examination day.
