Children can enter Hill House at any age between four and eleven years old, if places are available. There is no formal entry examination.
Stage One
Parents are invited to visit Hans Place any Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday during term time, at 8.30am, for a tour of the school. There is no need for an appointment — please just come when it is convenient for you. After the tour, if you wish, you may complete the simple entry application form. All entry forms must be completed by the parents, in person, at Hans Place. We will not send or receive forms by post or accept forms signed by third parties.
Stage Two
We will ask you to confirm your continued interest by sending a non-refundable Registration Fee of £100 per child. Once we have received this, we will send you a confirmation card for a conditional place at Hill House.
Stage Three
During the term before entry we will ask you to commit yourself to entry at Hill House by completing our Registration document and sending the Entrance Fee of £500. When this is received your place at Hill House is guaranteed and thus no refund will be made in case of non-appearance.
It is important to remember that if you change your address you keep us informed, so that we do not lose touch with you.
