Prep School Entry

In the first instance, parents who are considering Bede's Prep School for their child can arrange to visit the School for an open morning or private visit.  

Following this, you will be asked to complete a registration form, supply school reports and then your child will be invited to a taster day.  During their taster experience, your child will spend time with others in their year group including a buddy who will look after them.  The day is designed to allow children to experience a normal school day but if your child has a particular passion - such as sport or music - we will always try to arrange it on a day when those activities are timetabled.  

During the day your child will also take a computer based assessment which includes reading, writing, arithmetic and non-verbal reasoning.  There is no need for your child to prepare in any way for this, it just allows us to ensure that we can meet their educational needs. 

Places are offered on the basis of the taster day, assessment and recent school report.  Once a completed acceptance form has been received and the deposit paid, your child's place will be guaranteed.
