Junior School
Regular admission to Alleyn's Junior School occurs at 4+, 7+ and 9+, to join Reception, Year 3 and Year 5.
We are now accepting online registrations for potential admission in September 2020. The deadline for registration is midday on Friday 15 November. Assessments will be undertaken in January 2020 with a view to offering places to children who show the potential to make the academic progress required to enter the Senior School at 11+.
Alleyn's Junior School pupils have automatic entry to the Senior School but they still sit the scholarship/entrance exam with all other candidates. Usually, Junior School pupils are expected to make up one-third of the Senior School's Year 7 intake.
Open Events
We will be holding our next Alleyn's Junior School Open Event on Tuesday 5 November from 1.30 pm to 3.00 pm. There will be a Headmaster’s talk at 1.40 pm and the opportunity to take a school tour with one of our older pupils and see a normal school day. All are welcome to attend and there is no need to book.
Small Group Tours of the School
From September until mid-November, we will be offering tours of the school followed by a coffee with the Headmaster, on some Tuesday and Thursday mornings. These tours are reserved for parents who will be making applications for potential entry in September 2020. The tours are from 9.30 am until approximately 11.00 am. To check availability or book a place on a reserved small group tour, please contact the School Office on 020 8557 1519 or click here to send an email.
Occasional Vacancies
Places may sometimes arise in other age groups, outside the usual entry points. If you would like to be contacted by the Registrar should a vacancy arise in your child's age group, please complete this form.
