4
Taster day & assessment

Your child will be invited for a Taster Day and informal age-appropriate assessments, depending on their year group. This allows them to experience school life, meet their peers and teachers, and helps us get to know them as an individual.

For Sixth Form entry, we’ll arrange a meeting with the Head of Sixth Form to discuss aspirations and A-Level subject choices.

5
Offer & acceptance

Following your Taster Day and review, successful applicants will receive an offer letter and acceptance pack. You’ll have time to consider the offer, after which we’ll request a deposit to secure your child’s place.

From here, we’ll keep in touch and guide you through the exciting lead-up to joining Thorpe House!
