Access Arrangements

The Governors are fully committed to ensuring that our admissions arrangements are applied fairly to all applicants, including any child with special educational/medical needs or with a disability.

Requesting Access Arrangements for Entrance Tests

Some candidates with Special Educational Needs (SEN), a disability or a medical condition may require adjustments in exams, known as ‘access arrangements’ 

These adjustments enable candidates to access exams without altering the demands of the assessment.

If your child currently receives access arrangements as part of their normal way of working at school and you would like to request these for the entrance tests, please:

1. Complete the Test Registration Form which contains a link to the Access Arrangements Google Form. Copy the link and send it to your child’s current school as soon as possible, along with a brief email explaining that the form needs to be submitted to us as soon as possible and no later than the test registration deadline which can be found here

2. Check with your child’s school that they have submitted the form by the registration deadline. The form must be completed by the school—not by parents or carers—and will confirm your child’s current access arrangements.  Please note that late or parent-submitted forms cannot be accepted.

Once we have reviewed the information, we will confirm any appropriate adjustments with the parent/carer ahead of the test day.

If you are unsure about your child’s eligibility for access arrangements, you should speak with their class teacher or SENCO.

 If you require further information please email us at [email protected].

We would appreciate if you could refer to our comprehensive Admissions FAQs list before contacting the school with any further queries, as you may find the answer to your question here. This will enable our Admissions Officer and general office staff to deal with priority calls – thank you for your consideration.
