Admissions Criteria

Prospective children are invited to spend the morning with us to experience life at Moor Allerton Preparatory School. The Assessment Day includes essential testing in Mathematics, English (including reading and writing) and Verbal Reasoning, and time is given to observe how a child interacts in the classroom and at play. Registration is required for entrance assessments. We aim to notify families of the outcome of the assessment day within 48 hours. The school looks for individuals who demonstrate qualities linked to our school ethos and values. The process is not described as an examination and is designed to determine the child’s current learning stage and how ongoing learning could be supported.
