If you are considering independent school options for your child but finding yourself outside the typical entry points like 7+/8+, 11+, 13+, or 16+, Nosce Education Consultancy can shed light on an alternative avenue: occasional places.

 

Occasional places offer a unique opportunity for students to join independent schools when openings arise due to students leaving before completing their education. While these spots are rare and competitive, they provide a pathway for families seeking admission at non-standard entry points.

 

If you’re intrigued by the possibility of securing an occasional place for your child, we can help with your enquiry:

 

Nosce will 

 

•Express your interest to the school’s admissions department, either online or through direct contact.

•provide necessary documentation, such as recent school reports, and a personally written reccomendation letter to support your application.

 

Assessment Process:

 

•If a suitable place becomes available, the school will invite your child for assessment.

•Assessments typically include tests in core subjects like maths and English, possibly supplemented by reasoning tests.

•Successful candidates may progress to interviews, where their personal qualities and potential contributions to the school community are evaluated.

 

Why Consider Occasional Places:

 

•Occasional places offer flexibility for families relocating outside standard admissions cycles.

•They provide an opportunity for students to join prestigious independent schools at various stages of their education journey.
