FAQ's

Completing a registration form is the first step towards securing a place for your child at Prior Park School. We only have 40 places per year group and these tend to fill up at least a year or two in advance., this is why we encourage registering all your children a few years in advance of them turning 11. 

All prospective students must be registered before the end of March for the following September intake. The form can be downloaded from the Admissions page.

Once we receive your registration form and fee of £150, your child will need to take a computer-based skills assessment, usually lasting 45 minutes. The assessments take place in January/February.

It is only after going through this process that the formal offer of a place can be given.
