Admissions

Trial Days - October – December

All students attend one day in school to meet the teachers and classmates. They will attend classes with our current students. This gives teachers a chance to meet them and is one of the more important of our selection tools.

 

References - January - February

The current school will be contacted at this time to request an academic and personal reference for your child. Please inform your school that you have registered with Seaford College.

 

Ability Testing - 2nd Saturday of January (11+) 3rd Saturday of January (13+)

If you can not attend one of these please make sure you arrange to attend the other. These tests are a very important screening aid and, if you are unable to attend any of these testing days, may delay the offer of a place.

 

Offers - Late January / early February

We ask for you to accept any offer as soon as possible. Easter is usually the deadline. On accepting a place, you will need to send in the completed acceptance form with the deposit to secure the place for your child.

 

Scholarships & Bursaries - February

Scholarships are a £500 award per year. If you require any further financial assistance please request and complete a Bursary Application. The Bursary Committee will meet in February to discuss Scholarships and Bursaries. 

 

New Pupil Pack - May/June

This contains all the information you require to complete your child’s enrolment at Seaford.

 

Learning Support Screening – June/July

All new pupils will be given Learning Support Screening.

 

Induction Day and BBQ - Late August

A chance to meet tutors, heads of year and new classmates.
