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 Morning in October and a Sixth Form
Information Morning in November each year and these are
opportunities to meet the pupils and teachers and see the school
on show. 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.
The main entry points to Kelly are at 11, 13 and 16, although we regularly
have pupils joining in other years, where there is space
available.
Entry to First Form/Year 7
We hold an Entrance Day in February, prior to September entry, where
candidates will sit papers in English, Mathematics and
Non-verbal Reasoning. These examinations are followed by an
afternoon of activities.
Entry to Third Form/Year 9
Candidates will take one of three entry routes - Common Entrance Exams,
Common Academic Scholarships Exams our Kelly's 13+ Exam papers
(in Mathematics, English and Science).
Entry to Sixth Form
Sixth Form applicants will normally have an interview with the Headmaster,
a meeting with their prospective teachers, and will also submit
their most recent school report. Places will be offered based on
the attainment of specified GCSE results.
We welcome a broad range of pupils to Kelly College, and although academic
standards are very important, we are not solely selective on
academic ability.
