Our usual points of entry are at Reception, Year 3, Year 7 and Year 12. However, where vacancies arise, we are pleased to consider applications for occasional places and in-year entry. 

The admissions process will vary depending on the age of the applicant and the time of year, but will usually involve submitting the registration form, an assessment and interview, and a reference or recent school report from the applicant’s current school. Please see below for further details. 

We know that joining a new school outside the usual entry points is an important step. Our Admissions Team will support families throughout the process and help ensure that each girl makes a happy and confident start at Queen’s Gate. 

To enquire about an occasional place, please contact Bella Frost, Head of Admissions: Telephone: 020 7594 4982, Email: admissions@queensgate.org.uk
