Application

Once you have filled out the application form (below) and visited the school, it maybe suggested that the pupil attends a Taster day to experience life at Brontё House. Depending on the age of the child they may be required to sit maths and English tests or have a short interview with the Head.

Please note that the last entry point into Brontё is the beginning of Year 5.

For children applying for Nursery or Reception places you will be invited to visit Ashdown Lodge and meet with our experienced Early Years team. Once we have received your completed Application Form we will be in touch.

We invite all registered pupils for Year 7 to take our Entrance Exams in Maths and English in January.

We ask that those registering for September entry apply by the last day of the Autumn term for the Entrance Examination.

This will be followed by an invitation to an Interview with a member of our Senior Staff. This allows us to get to know each child individually and may also include an assessment of reading, verbal comprehension skills and numerical abilities. At this stage we will also apply for a report from each student’s current school.

Once an offer has been made the date of a Taster day will be sent out to you, this is a great opportunity to experience life at our school.

Applicants who wish to join us in the Sixth Form have the opportunity to attend a Sixth Form Open Evening. They will then be invited into school to meet Mr Softley, our Head of Sixth Form, followed by a Sixth Form Taster Day. An offer will be made subject to our entry requirements of at least 5 GCSEs grade 4 or above (including at least a 6/B grade in chosen A level subjects).

For entries throughout the academic year or for any year group other than Y7 we ask that you contact the school to discuss our application process.
Initially we will invite you to visit the school and fill in our application form. Then we will request a report from the applicant’s current school.

Following consideration of the report, children may then be invited to a Taster Day which will include sitting our Entrance Exams in maths and English and an interview with one of our Deputy Heads. The rest of the day will be spent enjoying school life with the appropriate year group. The Admissions process stages vary at times depending on individual circumstances.
