Admissions

We host a number of Open Day events throughout the year, please call us to register your interest for the next event.

We also welcome visits from prospective families throughout the year, call us today to arrange a visit.

We welcome registrations at any time, however late registrations made after March for entry in September of the same year, will attract a higher registration fee.  We also cannot guarantee that there will be spaces available in the appropriate inital subject settings for students registering after mid-August.

Places in each year group are strictly limited to forty students, so early registration is encouraged.

We cannot hold places open unless the registration form and fee is received and we do not automatically reserve places for siblings.

 Please download a form from this website or collect one from the school reception. The form must be completed and then signed by all parents/legal guardians who have parental responsibility. It is vital that the form is accurately completed, including details of any Special Educational Needs or health concerns.

The form should then be returned either via reception or by email to Molly Mor – mmor@priorparkschools.com.

Normal Registration Window
(Up until March 1st of the child’s last year at Primary School)
Registration Fee - £150

Late Registrations
(Any time after March 1st, for entry in September of the same year)
Registration Fee - £250

Acceptance Deposit* 
One full term's fees (amount is dependent on which year group the student is entering, please see here for details)
(payable once the student has been formally offered a place, following the admissions assessment).

*Formal acceptance of a place will only be guaranteed on receipt of a full term's fees in advance of the students first term in the school.  Parents who cancel a place more than a full term in advance will not be required to pay fees in lieu of notice, under these circumstances the deposit will be refunded to you.  If no such notice is given, the School will retain the deposit payment. 

The Acceptance Deposit is fully refundable from the last fee bill (less any extras to be billed), provided that the child completes their education with us or the necessary notice period is served. Alternatively, this can be donated to the Alumni fund. 

For the avoidance of doubt Y13 [Upper Sixth] is deemed the final year for notice purposes. Please note in particular that failure to give appropriate notice if it is intended to change school at the end of Year 11 will nonetheless result in the deposit being retained by the School.

Full Terms and Conditions regarding the acceptance of a place, can be found here. 

Please reference your fee payment with your child's full name. We will acknowledge receipt of both your form and registration fee by return email.

Students will be placed on our registration list once registration forms and fees are received.

Before the formal offer of a place is made, the student must undertake an age-appropriate entrance assessment. These computer-adaptive tests attempt to measure Verbal, Mathematical and Non-Verbal Reasoning and assist the school in confirming that the curriculum offered at Prior Park School is appropriate for your child. The assessments are usually taken in January/February. 

Once the assessments are complete, we formally offer a place at the school for the following September. At this stage, a welcome pack will be sent to parents containing an acceptance form. To accept the place, the form and deposit must be returned to the school without delay as your child’s place can only then be confirmed.

Following the assessments, we may offer some students recommendations on areas of improvement before they arrive in September, such as spelling, reading or Mathematics, and some guidance as to resources.
