One service, different admissions systems

State and private applications start differently.

State schools

Start with where you live. Reviewed rules and comparable published outcomes can often show where your application sits.

Private schools

Start with the school and entry point. Published requirements shape the plan, while tests, interviews and the school’s judgement determine selection.

Clear boundaries

Know what is published, and what still needs investigating.

Published evidence

Entry requirements, dates, assessment stages, fees, bursaries and school information, each tied to its source and review date.

Questions to investigate

What is not publicly confirmed becomes a precise question for admissions staff, teachers, pupils or the open-day visit.

Your action plan

School-specific steps for what to prepare, where to go, what to observe and what to discuss with your child afterwards.

From research to a decision

A plan you can take with you.

The intended output is not another long school summary. It is a practical sequence a family can follow before, during and after a visit.

  1. Before you apply

    Confirm eligibility, dates, materials, costs and funding.

  2. At the school

    Ask and observe what published information cannot settle.

  3. After the visit

    Record your child’s response and the evidence still missing.
