Prep School Admissions

Our main intakes for the Prep School are Early Years (Nursery 3+ and Reception 4+) and Year 3 (7+), which girls enter in the September following their seventh birthday. We sometimes have occasional places in other years. If these are of interest to you, please contact us at prep@schs.gdst.net.

We are currently considering applications for September 2025. For chance vacancy places from January 2025, please contact prep@schs.gdst.net

3+ and 4+ Assessments

Once you have applied for a space within our SCPS family, your daughter will be invited to visit us for an informal play-based assessment. The visit will last for approximately 20 minutes and will take place within our EYFS setting.

Girls are invited onsite to engage in “free play” as well as playing simple games 1:1 with a member of our EYFS team. There is no need for your daughter to undergo any preparation before their visit – it is our hope and aspiration for every girl who comes onsite to have a positive experience, wanting to come back for more!
