• New pupils are accepted into the main school on the basis of an interview and several trial days, at which we try to gain an all round picture of the individual child. There is no entrance examination. All successful applicants are accepted on the basis of a half term’s trial.

• Admission to the Nursery and Kindergarten is by interview with the Early Years teachers.
• Children joining Elmfield School are allocated to classes by age and overall development, rather than ability.
• Parents are asked to attend an Open Evening before making an application.
