Applying for Key Stage Two (Upper School)

Applicants for admission at age 7+ hoping to join Newbridge Preparatory Upper School at Year Three or above spend two Taster Days with us. These are offered on any school weekday in term-time and enable your child to experience a normal school day within their year group.

During the Taster Days, your child will sit our age-appropriate assessment papers. These assessments are designed to be appropriate to the age of your child and we endeavour to ensure that the process is as friendly and reassuring as possible. Offers of places are considered based on the results of these assessments, together with an individual interview with a senior member of staff and previous school references. Wherever possible, your child will also meet the Headmistress so that she can get to know them personally. Following this process, an offer of a place will be made if your child fulfils our admission criteria.
