Step 1 – Initial contact: The ideal way for you to meet and visit Shoreham College is at one of the Open Mornings. You are also welcome to arrange an individual visit to tour the school with Principal, Mrs Sarah Bakhtiari. Please call to arrange an individual visit, or email admissions officer Mrs Hall here.
Step 2 – Reports and Taster Day: If you are considering applying to Shoreham College, they ask you to provide two of your child’s most recent school reports and some other relevant information. They invite your child to visit Shoreham College either for a morning taster session or a full day, depending on their age. This is a great opportunity for your child to get to know their prospective classmates and meet the teachers. On the day, children entering Year 5 or above undertake one or more aptitude assessments. There is no preparation required, and they do not use this information to decide whether an offer is made.
Stage 3 – Offer: Following the taster day, an offer will be made subject to availability and references. Shoreham College is a mainstream academically non-selective school, but the Principal may decline to offer a place at her discretion. Please contact admissions officer to find out further information regarding behavioural and curriculum requirements.
Stage 4 – Acceptance: Once they have made the offer, you should complete the registration form and return it with the required deposit. They strongly recommend early acceptance as they consider registrations in the order that they receive them. Confirmation of acceptance follows two terms before entry. Joining information will be sent to you at the appropriate time. For children starting in September, there may be an induction event at the end of the preceding summer term. Children are welcome to join at any point during the academic year.
