Admissions

A very warm welcome

Our bespoke admissions process focuses on the needs of each child and their family. As a ‘gently selective’ school, Windlesham House’s excellent record continues to prepare children for outstanding day and boarding senior schools.

We are proud to be different. We have a rich and long history whilst being progressive and innovative in our culture and approach. Our girls and boys are kind and caring, full of curiosity and risk takers. They will leave the school characteristically confident, well rounded and ready to embrace the challenges ahead with positivity.

Already curious? We would love to show you our school, Windlesham House.

We are looking forward to meeting you at either our open mornings or a personal tour with our Headmaster or member of our Senior Leadership Team.

Our admissions process

Visit Windlesham House

Our first step is to invite you in for a visit where you will be shown around by our Headmaster, Ben Evans, or our senior leadership team who will give you a thorough insight into life at Windlesham House and how we are different from other schools. If you are new to the area, we can help you find somewhere to stay.

Finding out a bit more

For us to find out more about your child, we will request their latest school report and CAT4 scores (if applicable) to give us an indication of their current academic levels and insight into how we could support them as a pupil at Windlesham House both in an educational and pastoral sense.

Taster day

The next stage is to register We will arrange a taster session and/or an overnight stay (depending on whether boarding is an option). All pupils having an experience with us will have a host who will ensure they are happy and participating in all parts of the school.
