Once they have Registered for their place, they will be invited to come and spend two days with us, meet our Head of Middle School, spend some time in lessons and meeting other students, and complete online numeracy and literacy tests.. Boarding candidates who are unable to visit the School for assessments can sit assessments at British Council offices, approved agencies or their current schools. Please contact our admissions team if you have any questions.
 

Girls wishing to join us from other schools into Year 7 are invited to come to an Open House or email admissions to book a personalised tour. Once they have Registered for their place, we encourage our applicants to join us for a Taster Morning. Applicants will then take our entrance assessment and be invited for an interview. The interviews give girls an opportunity to demonstrate skills not revealed in written papers and ask any questions of their own. Students will be asked to prepare a three-minute talk and bring along something of which they are proud. Boarding candidates who are unable to visit the School for assessments can sit assessments at British Council offices, approved agencies or their current schools. Please contact our admissions team to discuss further.

All girls joining Royal High School are invited for taster days throughout the year to experience what life would be like in their year group here. Girls wishing to join us in Years 8, 9 and 10 are required to sit assessments in English and Mathematics. Girls entering Years 9 and 10 also have to complete Science assessments in addition to English and Maths. Current schools will be asked for a report on students' progress and candidates might also have an interview with the Head of Modern Languages to assess their language ability. If you have any queries at all, please get in touch with our admissions team.

If you'd like to join our thriving Future-Focused Sixth Form, please arrange a personal tour with us where you'll get to chat to our passionate members of staff as well as current girls. 

Entry into Royal High School is dependent on a minimum of six GCSEs at grade 6 and above (or equivalent qualifications) and candidates are expected to achieve grade 7 in subjects they wish to study at A Level. You will need a minimum of a Grade 4 in both English and Mathematics. We also refer to predicted grades and references from your current school. Some students will be required to take papers to assess their ability in English, Maths and option subjects. An interview with our Head of Sixth Form - online or in person - is part of our admissions process. Please contact our admissions team if you have any questions.
