(3+ and 4+) Nursery & Reception: They have two Nursery classes and three Reception classes, all of around 20 pupils each. Pupils can join the two Nursery classes at 3+ and the one new Reception class at 4+. Informal assessments for entry will take place at the beginning of the autumn term of the year preceding entry. They make the 3+ and 4+ assessment process as relaxed, child-friendly and enjoyable as possible. Your child will be invited to join a play session, where he or she will be given a short informal assessment by an experienced early years practitioner. Children born in summer will not be disadvantaged by their birth month – staff are experienced and will take this into account.
(11+) Year 7: Approximately 60-70 pupils enter Colfe’s in Year 7 (age 11) each year from a wide selection of local primary schools and independent schools. In addition, pupils from Colfe’s Junior School move up into Year 7, making a year group total of around 120 (five Form Groups). Prospective pupils sit entrance examination and are interviewed in January for entry in September. They also ask for a reference from the pupil’s current school. Offers of places are made when the process is complete in mid February each year.
(16+) Sixth Form: The Sixth Form entrance assessment involves a written personal statement as well as two recent school reports and reference. Successful candidates will be invited to interview and offers made are conditional on achieving at least four Grade 7/A at GCSE.
