Consideration of an offer of a place
As a small caring school, we are able to offer most pupils a place to experience a wonderful journey through preparatory school. In considering applicants, we aim to ensure that any child offered a place at Elmhurst will be able to fit happily into the school and be able to benefit from and cope with the challenging, broad curriculum we provide. We always look beyond the current ability of the child and try to gauge their possible potential in our assessment process, which is conducted individually for all age groups.
Offers for places at the school are made following assessment. Those entering scholarship applications may be asked to take part in an additional assessment depending on the individual situation.
Accepting a place
Once a place has been offered, your child’s spot will be held for seven days. A deposit of £700 is then payable upon acceptance. This deposit will be returned when your child leaves Elmhurst in Year 6, subject to any outstanding amounts. It is non-refundable in the event if your child does not join the school.
If you have any questions about the application process, our Admissions Manager can be reached via email on admissions@elmhurstschool.net or by telephone on 0208 688 0661. You can also complete our online form and someone will get in touch with you.
