Junior (Years 1-6) Entry
Churcher’s College Junior School offers an engaging and ambitious education for children aged 5 to 11. Pupils enjoy a rich and stimulating academic curriculum, supported by a strong pastoral system and an impressive range of opportunities beyond the classroom.
Admissions Steps & Timings
Years 1 & 2:
After registering, prospective Year 1 and Year 2 pupils are invited to a welcoming taster morning. During this visit, they will meet children in their current cohort and take part in lessons and activities, allowing them to experience a typical school day and gain a genuine feel for our community.
In an age-appropriate way, our teachers will assess your child’s progress in English and mathematics, helping us understand how best to support their learning and ensure a smooth transition.
We will request a copy of your child’s latest school report, and with your permission, a reference from their current school, to provide further insight into their academic progress, pastoral development, and overall well-being.
Once a place has been offered, your child will be invited to a settling-in day, giving them the chance to become familiar with their new classmates and surroundings before officially joining us.
Years 3 - 6
To join us in Years 3 - 6, please register your interest by completing our online registration form. The process is as follows:
- Registered pupils will be invited to attend one of our Taster Mornings in November or January. This is a great chance for your child to experience life at Churcher’s first-hand.
- At the end of January each year, there is an assessment morning which registered candidates are invited to attend. Your child will be assessed in English (spelling, reading, comprehension and writing) and Mathematics; the morning will also include some fun activities, including team games. Following this, offer letters are sent to successful candidates by mid-February.
- We will request a copy of your child’s latest school report, and with your permission, a reference from their current school.

Transition from the Junior to the Senior School
The majority of pupils transfer successfully to the Senior School. Junior School pupils get to know our Senior School through visits and events both at the Junior and Senior School, including Science Gophers lessons, music events, hockey and swimming. These embedded links help ensure a smooth transition for our Junior School pupils when the time comes for the move at 11+ to the Senior School.
