Step 1

Booking an appointment

Step 2

Place availability

After receiving your request for information, the Admissions Department will contact you to inform you about the availability of places, and depending on whether there is a place for your child, to organise a visit online or in person.

Step 3

Confirmation of enrolment

After the visit, the Admissions Department will send you instructions to complete the online application form. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for us to contact the student’s previous school.

Places are offered on a first come, first served basis. Where places are not available, children will be added to the waiting list.

If your child is on the waiting list and a place becomes available, we will contact you to start the admissions process.

The application does not legally bind you to accept a place at Caxton College.

Applications do not confirm places as these are subject to availability.

Next Steps in Reception and Primary (4 to 10 years of age)

The student’s final academic grades from the last two school years should be attached to the application form, if applicable.

For admissions from Reception to Year 3, if a place is available in the child’s year group, we will arrange an appointment for you to come to the school to meet with the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher.
For admissions from Year 4 to Year 6, if a place is available in the child’s year group, we will arrange an appointment for them to come to the school to sit entrance tests. If your child is unable to sit the tests in the school due to distance, this can be organised in coordination with their current school. We will also organise an online or in-person informal meeting between the student and the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher.

If the student achieves good results in the entrance tests, we will request written references from their current school.

Places are offered depending on the results of the entrance tests, grades in school reports from the previous two academic years and the references received.
