We always recommend visiting us in person and suggest an individual meeting with Mrs Pippa Smithson, Head, and a tour of the school. Seeing the Senior School ‘in action’ gives you the opportunity to observe the interaction between pupils and staff and to get a feel for The Royal’s affirmative approach to education.
Our main entry points are at Year 7, Year 9 and Year 12. For Year 7-10 2021 entry please contact the Admissions Office on 01428 603052 or email admissions@royal-school.org for further information regarding the admission process.
Year 9 entry
We encourage those who are considering a Year 9 entry to complete the entrance assessments for Year 7 and defer – nearer the point of entry we will invite the applicant for an informal interview with the Head of Upper School and to supply school reports from Year 7 and Year 8.
