At Danes Hill, we operate a gently selective admissions approach, offering to pupils who will thrive within our broad, engaging curriculum and supportive school environment. Our admissions process considers each child as an individual, looking not only at academic ability alone but also to ensure a good fit between the pupil, the school and our values. This thoughtful approach helps us maintain high academic standards while fostering a happy, kind and inclusive community in which children are confident, motivated, and able to be the best version of themselves.
We believe the best learning happens when support is proactive, inclusive, and nurturing. We provide Tier 1 support for all learners through high-quality, inclusive teaching, alongside targeted Tier 2 support for pupils who benefit from short-term, small-group intervention. This means every pupil enjoys a supportive learning environment, while those needing additional help receive timely and focused support. By responding early and effectively to any need and having open and transparent conversations with teachers and parents, we ensure pupils remain fully engaged in our curriculum. Our caring and understanding approach ensures every child feels confident, makes progress, and experiences success within a kind and nurturing school community.
An offer of a place will be made if we feel Danes Hill is the right school for your child. We have a straight forward admissions process whether you are joining our Nursery, Pre-prep or Prep School. We hope this step-by-step guide will help you understand the process. Claire Walsh, our Registrar will be your first point of contact and is happy to answer any questions you may have.
