Application Process

Admissions Application Process

Our Admissions Team will guide you through every step of the application process and work closely with the Heads of Schools to ensure your child feels happy and supported in their transition to Queen Ethelburga’s.


What To Expect When Applying For A Place

1. Contact the Admissions team, via the contact form below, to register your interest and receive your application form. 

2. Send your child’s documents: 

  • Passport 

  • 2 x Full school reports 

  • Birth certificate 

  • Application form

3. Visit the school on an Open Day or arrange a private tour. 

4. Students applying for Years 4-13 take a Cognitive Ability Test (CAT4). The CAT4 is not an entry exam and does not determine whether the school offers a place. Instead, the results of the test will help us to place your child in a learning environment that is right for them.  

5. Accept and secure your offer of a place by completing the registration form and paying a non-refundable fee of £354.  


Planning A Visit?

We’d love to take you on a personal tour around campus to show you our amazing facilities and boarding houses.

If you decide to visit, you can also meet one of our senior academic staff who can explain the different courses and subjects available.
