How to Register for Amesbury School
Admissions
Step 1: Enquire and Visit
We encourage all prospective families to visit the school and experience the Amesbury atmosphere first-hand. You can book a private tour or attend one of our Open Mornings throughout the year.
Step 2: Registration Form
To register, please complete our Registration Form and pay the non-refundable £120 registration fee. This reserves your child’s place in the admissions process and enables us to invite them for a Taster Day.
Step 3: Taster Day and Assessment
All children are invited to a Taster Day which gives an opportunity to meet the teachers, make friends and experience what life is like at Amesbury School.
Taster Days are booked for a mutually convenient day during term-time. Your child will join their current year group for a normal school day of lessons and activities. Teachers will observe how your child settles socially and academically. Younger pupils will do some maths and English with a teacher, older pupils will sit an online cognitive ability test. There is nothing to prepare for, nor to worry about. This is intended to allow teachers to see where in the cohort your child would sit best academically, and to ensure that they would be able, not only to access Amesbury’s broad curriculum, but also to enjoy school and thrive here.
Step 4: Offer of a Place
Following the Taster Day, our Admissions Team will contact you within three working days to confirm whether a place can be offered. An Offer of a Place will then be sent via email, accompanied by an e-Contract outlining the school’s Terms and Conditions.
To accept a place, parents both complete the contract and pay a £500 deposit, which is held until your child leaves the school.
