Senior School Admissions
Pupils may be admitted to the school at any age, but the principal points of entry are at 11+ and 16+ (Sixth Form). Please complete our online application form below if you wish to apply.
In the last academic year the school was significantly over-subscribed and was obliged to operate a waiting-list for girls wishing to secure a place.
Before the school can consider any candidate for entry, the application form must be completed and submitted, together with:
- a non-refundable registration fee of £150 (£175 for overseas applicants)
- a current photograph
- a copy of her end-of-year 5 school report (for 11+ entrance)
- a copy of her passport (or birth certificate if no passport is held)
For occasional vacancies in other years please contact our Head of Admissions, at admissions@schs.gdst.net
We are now welcoming registrations for 11+ entry for September 2025 and invite you to complete our application form.
The deadline for completing registrations, including Bursary and Specialist Scholarship applications, is Thursday 31 October 2024. We encourage families to submit registrations well in advance of this deadline, particularly if you are considering Bursary or Scholarship opportunities.
All of our key admissions dates can be found below.

Entrance Exams, Interviews and Creative Writing Submissions
Streatham & Clapham High School is a selective school and each year we receive more applications than the number of places we have available. However, the criteria on which we base our selection is not solely the entrance examination (although all its elements do play a considerable role in both the offering of places and academic scholarships). We are interested in finding and celebrating the unique potential of girls whom we believe will flourish at SCHS, which is not always visible from a single measure such as a standardised examination. We therefore also consider a creative-writing submission and conduct our interview process via a fun group assessment that enables candidates to explore whether the school ignites their interests too.
