Admissions

Joining our Abbey Gate College Community

Choosing the right school is an important decision, and we aim to make the admissions process as straightforward and reassuring as possible. We welcome enquiries from families at different stages of their child’s education and are always happy to discuss individual circumstances and availability.

How to apply to Abbey Gate College

We encourage all potential applicants to visit our College and personally meet with the Head, Mr Jenkinson, for Senior School, or Mrs Hickey, for Junior School.

Reception Assessments

Our Reception Assessments Days are a chance for us to observe your child within our classroom and form an important part of our Admissions process.

We know that this is just a brief snap-shot, however, and take into considerations many other factors. We know some children can be shy under these circumstances, and we are used to this, working with each child to ensure that they enjoy their short time with us.

If you would like your child to be assessed for a place in our Reception Class for the academic year 2027, please complete the application form below. Our registration fee is £90 (incl VAT) and a payment window will open at the end of the form for you to submit your card details. 

Reception 2027 Entry Assessment Application Form

Our assessment days take place on the following dates and we will be in touch, once we have received your form, to book the correct date for you:

Friday 2 October
