City of London School for Girls Admissions Booklet 2016 - page 22

OTHER ENTRY POINTS
Occasionally, we have places available for non-standard entry points (ages other than Years 3, 7 or 12).
We therefore sometimes admit girls into
Years 4, 5, 8 or 9
. This happens
only if current girls leave and places
become available
. We do not, however, admit girls into Years 6, 10, 11 or 13.
These non-standard places are rare. If you register with us for our waiting list, we unfortunately cannot
promise that any places will become available. You are therefore advised to look at other schools as well
as being on our waiting list.
Should a place arise, however, the following procedure will apply:
We contact all girls on our waiting list to find out if they are still interested in a place. We do not
recommend moving girls if they are already happily settled in their current schools!
We then arrange for the girls to attend a morning or afternoon of entrance assessments.
Years 4 and 5
– this will involve a few short tests in
English and Maths
, as well as some
practical
activities
where we assess how the girls interact with other class members.
Years 8 and 9
– this will involve
four short half hour papers in English, Maths, Science and a
language
. The papers will be based on work the girls are currently doing at school. Successful girls
will then also have a short and informal interview.
To apply for a non-standard place, please email
with your daughter’s name, date
of birth and address.
