Group Assessments

For entry into Reception, we start with a large group session on a Saturday morning held in a nursery style environment within our Reception classrooms and led by our Reception and KS1 team of teachers and assistants. Parents meet with the Junior Leadership in the hall and have the opportunity to tour the school.

Friendly, informal small group assessments, led by our Reception teachers, are held in the week after the Saturday session. The assessment is presented in a games format, covering language and social skills, number, physical and creative skills. During this assessment, parents meet with Mrs Dickerson, Head of the Junior School.
