Reception Entry (4+)
Girls spend about an hour with our Pre-Prep team in a warm, child-focused environment, similar to the one they would experience in a pre-school setting, surrounded by interesting activities and toys. By engaging with each child, playing games, sharing activities and stories we gain an insight into whether your daughter would thrive at STAHS. We are sensitive to the needs of your young daughter and keep our 4+ assessments to just a few girls per session.
Ahead of assessment, parents and daughters are invited to join a ‘playdate’ familiarisation session, helping girls feel at ease and ready to enjoy their return visit to Prep for assessment. We offer a number of assessment mornings from the start of the autumn term, with offers made soon after assessment.
To apply for a place for your child at the Prep School please complete the Application Form using the link below. Your application is confirmed by paying a non-refundable registration fee of £150.
If you’d like to know more or to arrange a visit to the school with your child, please contact our Admissions team on 01582 839260 admissions@stahs.org.uk.
The admissions process is kept under review and may be adapted according to circumstances at the time.
