Admissions Process

Joining us is straightforward

Apply for a place at our exceptional school and put your child on the path to a fantastic educational experience. We have designed our admissions process to be as easy as possible and we will happily guide you every step of the way.

Easy 5 step process
1
Get in touch

Contact us for an initial conversation about your child and to check availability in the relevant year group.

We will be able to email you an interactive document for you to find out more about Hydesville Tower School, which includes our current prospectus and virtual tours as well as details about our current admissions process, fees and much more.

2
Visit us

We hold regular Open Events throughout the academic year, which are a fantastic opportunity to see our pupils happy and engaged in their lessons, meet our inspirational teachers and see how your child would be given the opportunity to fully flourish at Hydesville Tower.

Alternatively, personal tours are available at a mutually convenient time

3
Apply

Following an initial conversation with our Admissions Team – and once you have confirmed you would like to begin an application – we will ask you to send us a copy of your child’s most recent school report. At this time, you will also be asked to complete a registration form and pay a £50 registration fee (for Nursery applications) or a £75 registration fee (for Prep and Senior School applications).

We will contact your child’s current school to request a standard reference. Once received this will be reviewed with your child’s report by the relevant Head of School.

We will schedule a Taster Day so that your child can experience a day at Hydesville:

  • For entry to our Prep School the taster day includes a range of assessments, appropriate to the child’s age group.
  • For entry to our Senior School the taster day will include an online assessment. This includes numeracy, literacy and non-verbal reasoning. The day also involves a handwritten creative writing task.
Our Head of Prep School / Head of Senior School will also be pleased to give you a tour and you will also have the chance to ask any further questions and find out more about our educational offering.

5
Receive an offer

Subject to a positive completion of the steps above, we will make a time-limited formal offer of a place for your child to join us.

Your child’s Hydesville Tower adventure is about to begin.

6
Complete admission

You accept the offer, completing the necessary paperwork supplied to secure your child’s admission. Pay a deposit of £500 to secure the place; this will be refunded to you when your child leaves the school.

If you accept your child’s place, we will stay in touch to ensure a safe and smooth transition for you and your child. We look forward to welcoming you to the Hydesville family.
