Our main entry points are Reception and Year 3 (aged 7+). Pupils join Reception in the September following their fourth birthday. Sometimes places become available in other years and pupils can be put on a waiting list and informed, if and when, a place becomes available. Where possible, flexibility is shown by the School to enable siblings to join. If you would like to know more about the places available please contact the Registrar on 01865 392 303 or email registrar@abingdonprep.org.uk.
We have no formal academic testing at age four, but we are looking for personal independence and some social maturity, which will help children to mix successfully with the rest of the form and help everyone to settle happily in their first days. Older boys will be given tests in English, non-verbal Reasoning and Mathematics to ensure that they will fit comfortably into the academic range of the class they are joining.
