Offer of a place
Following a successful taster visit, we will request (where applicable):
- Your child’s most recent school report
- A reference from their current school
Once received, a formal offer will be made. To accept a place, a £500 deposit is payable. This deposit is refunded when your child leaves the school.
If a place is accepted and later withdrawn, the deposit will be retained and the school may charge one term’s fees in lieu of notice unless a full term’s notice is given. Full details can be found in our standard terms and conditions.
If you have any further queries on the registration process please contact our Admissions team on 01737 363600 or email admissions@bansteadprep.com.
