Welcome to Admissions at Michael Hall
We’re delighted you're considering joining our school community. Whether you're just exploring, have questions, or are ready to apply, we’re here to help.
At Michael Hall, we welcome admissions throughout the year, with the exception of Kindergarten, where entry is limited to the start of the Autumn and Spring terms. For applications received by January 31st for a September start, interviews will be scheduled and decisions communicated during the Spring term. Applications received after this deadline may need to wait until the Summer term for an interview and decision.
We do not require an academic entrance exam and welcome students of all academic abilities, appreciating the unique qualities each child brings to our community.
Our admissions process is designed to ensure that you gain a clear understanding of the distinctive education we provide, while we assess how well we can support your child’s individual needs.
For further details, please read our full Admissions process below and download our Admissions Policy.
