Admissions Information
We would be delighted to welcome you to Kelly College for a tour of the school and to meet with the Headmaster, Dr Hawley. We also have a whole school Open Afternoon in October and a Sixth Form Open Event in November each year, which are opportunities for you to meet the pupils and teachers as well as seeing around the school. We can organise visits to Kelly at a time to suit you - including Saturday mornings - please just contact Kirsten Bailey the Registrar, who can help organise a suitable day for you.
Once you have visited and decided you would like to pursue an application, the first step would be to complete and return our Registration Form - which is downloadable below.
Our Admissions process is designed to gain a well-rounded view of each indivdual applicant and to gain an insight as to whether each child will thrive at Kelly.
