Admissions
Overview
Information about scholarships and bursaries can be found in our fees section.
Ashville College is an academically selective school, but we also encourage our students to develop their individual interests and aptitudes. Entrance to each of the schools is outlined below:
The Pre-Prep School »
Children enter Pre-Prep as day pupils in the September following their fourth birthday. Most pupils go into the Reception class, but where places exist we will accept children for any year of entry. Entry to Pre-Prep follows assessment tests and an informal interview with the Head of Pre-Prep School.

The Junior School »
Most children enter Junior School in Year 3 as day pupils, but whenever possible we will accept applicants for other years of entry. We accept boarding pupils from aged 7. Admission is based on assessment tests, KS1 SATs and an informal interview with the Head. Whenever possible we like children to spend a day in school so that we can observe them in both a classroom and a social environment and they can enjoy the Ashville experience.

The Senior School »
We are as flexible as possible on entry. Although the principal assessment period is January and most students enter in Year 7, we consider prospective students at other times of the year. Students take an exam (Maths, English and non-verbal reasoning) in the morning and are interviewed by the Headmaster or a senior teacher. In the afternoon they get involved in a range of activities. Overseas applicants will sit the entrance examination and be interviewed in their own country.

The Sixth Form »
Admission to the Sixth Form is dependent on performance at GCSE (or equivalent) plus an interview with the Headmaster.

Applications
Applications may be made at any time of the year although to avoid disappointment, early application is recommended.
The Registration Form (PDF) should be completed and returned to the Registrar. The student's current school may also be contacted for a reference and details of the student's predicted examination grades.
If your child’s application is successful we will offer a definite place for entry. At this point you will be asked to confirm your acceptance and pay the deposit of £250 for day pupils and £1000 for boarders. A joining pack is then dispatched in the months prior to the joining date.
