While most children join Queen’s College Preparatory School at our usual entry points, places sometimes become available in other year groups if a family relocates or a pupil moves school.
When a place does arise, we are pleased to consider applications for that year group. The admissions process will normally include an age-appropriate assessment and a meeting with a member of our team so that we can get to know your child and ensure Queen’s would be a happy and suitable environment for them.
Because these opportunities are limited and unpredictable, we encourage parents who are interested in an occasional place to contact our Admissions team. We will be happy to advise you on current availability and the next steps in the process.
If you would like to enquire about an occasional place, please email Admissions at admissions@qcps.org.uk.
