How to join Warwick Junior School

We would recommend your start your journey with a visit to Warwick Junior School if you have not already been. This can be in the form of a private tour during the school day, or on an open day. Many families do both so they can experience every aspect of the school and the nursery itself.

We would be delighted to welcome you, so please contact our Admissions team to organise this or find upcoming events on our events page. These events are a great opportunity to find answers to your questions, whilst our Admissions team will also be happy to talk to you about anything you want to know.

When you are satisfied that Warwick Junior School is the right place for your son, and we have confirmed that there is space in your selected year group, then it’s time to make an application and pay the registration fee. You can do this via our simple online form and we will also require that you upload your son’s long form birth certificate that lists both parents. We would usually recommend doing this by the published deadline for our assessment days which are usually held in January. If you are applying after this date, we will advise you as to whether any spaces remain. If there are no spaces available, we will keep your son’s name on a list and contact you if a space becomes available for him to register and sit the assessment.

Boys joining Warwick Junior School are required to sit online tests in Maths and in English (covering spelling, punctuation and grammar, together with reading comprehension); and a short, handwritten Creative Writing exercise. Satisfactory school references and reports are required for all children being considered for a place at Warwick Junior School.

Entrance Assessment Days are typically held in prior to entry the following September. However, if places remain available, additional Entrance Assessment Days may take place later in the year and boys can be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Offers will be made to boys who sit the assessments immediately after each round. We will communicate with you whether your child is being offered a place or not, and the offers will be made via email using the email addresses provided when you registered.

If you have been made an offer of a place, we will ask you to accept your place by a deadline clearly communicated on your offer letter. To accept your place, we require a copy of the acceptance form signed by all parents with parental responsibility unless we already know that this is not possible (typed signatures are not permitted). We will also ask for payment of the acceptance deposit at the same time – more details on this can be found in your offer letter.

Once we have your acceptance forms and your deposit, you are ready to become a part of our Warwick Junior School community. You will receive more information about joining the School in the terms following acceptance.
