Admissions to our Preparatory School

from the nursery school to the upper school

Devonshire House is for children from the School’s Nursery at two years of age, through to the Senior Schools at the end of Year 6 (10 plus) or at the end of Year 8 (12 plus).

The choice of a school is a major moment in children’s lives – and in their parents’!  The Admissions’ Office makes sure each family has the information necessary and arranges visits to the School.  The Devonshire House approach to Admissions is thorough, but welcoming at every stage.

All prospective pupils who are registered are invited to meet teachers and other children at the School.

Late applications and those outside of the normal entry cycle can be considered, but please contact the Admissions’ Office for advice.

The School is made up of The Nursery School; The Lower School; The Middle School and The Upper School.  The sense of community runs strongly throughout the School.

“I have been extremely happy at Devonshire House, starting from the Nursery.”
