Admissions Points

Children are welcome to join our Nursery when they are 3 years old. Our Nursery places are allocated on a first come first served basis so early registration is recommended.

Many new children are welcomed to Bevendean Pre-prep in Reception. There is no assessment for children joining Danes Hill School at this stage and places are offered in the order of which registrations are received so we urge families to register sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

Year 3 is a popular year for children to join Danes Hill School as they perhaps finish at the local state infant schools or their London Pre-prep School. Children joining Year 3 and above are invited to attend an Assessment Morning. This morning not only looks at their maths and English abilities but the whole child, how they work with their peers and how Danes Hill School will help them reach their full potential. We aim to make this day as enjoyable as possible and no preparation is need.

Many children choose to join Danes Hill School in Year 7 to reap the benefits of a nurturing prep school education before joining their senior school in Year 9. Children will be asked to attend an Assessment Morning ahead of being offered a place which we will do within 48 hours.
