Admissions
We are delighted that you are considering The Royal School for your child. This section of the website explains the admission process for Primary, Senior, Sixth Form and Boarding.
Parents and pupils interested in the School should come along to one of our open events where they will be able to meet key staff, in particular the Head of the appropriate section of the school. It is important that you and your child fully understand the ethos, values and expectations of our School so that you can be certain that it is the right choice.
In the meantime, if you require further information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Admissions Team Leader, Ms Jaemi Hodgson.
