Entrance Tests
Applicants for entry at 7+ are invited into the Preparatory School for testing on two separate occasions in the January before proposed entry.
The purpose of our entrance processes is not to make Bancroft’s more academically selective, but to help us make offers to children who we feel will benefit most from the education we offer. We receive many more applications than we have places. Some candidates may be placed on a waiting list following the tests and may be offered places if vacancies arise.
Applications
A non-returnable registration fee of £125 is required. Payment should be made online. A copy of the child’s full birth certificate or passport must accompany all applications.
Please note that if you are applying for an Assisted Place you must first complete an Initial Assessment of Income Form (IAIF). We will then review the financial criteria and either invite you to register for an Assisted Place with a reduced fee of £20 , or invite you to register for a Fee-Paying place.
Upon acceptance of a place, we require a £1000 deposit. The deposit should be paid online; we are not able to accept cash payments. If your child receives an Assisted Place, this deposit will also be means tested.
