If your son is successful in our entrance examinations, he will be invited to attend an interview with a member of our teaching staff. This is a great opportunity for us to get to know your son better and will take place shortly after the entrance examination. You will be notified by our admissions team when a date has been set. The conversation focuses on your son’s strengths at school, his interests, and any weaknesses which might have emerged in their examination papers.
