Year 7 entry
Our main entry point into our Senior School is in Year 7, where we offer in the region of 70 external places.
Our aim is to have an equal split of boys and girls to create an inclusive learning environment. Whilst we remain a gently selective school, we do advise that applicants in Year 6 will need to be comfortably meeting national expectations in English or maths or higher in order to be comfortable with the pace of our curriculum in the Senior School.
Mrs Claire Williams is your point of contact for admissions into Year 7 and is available to answer your initial enquiries at admissions@claremont.surrey.sch.uk or on 01372 473 794.
Our process for admissions into Year 7 at Claremont is as follows:
1. Visit
All prospective families are warmly invited to visit the school in the spring or summer term of Year 5 or the autumn term of Year 6.
2. Apply
To apply for Year 7, 2026 we require a completed application form supported by a recent school report and a £150 non-refundable registration fee to be submitted by Tuesday 4 November 2025. Please click below to fill out the application form.
If you have indicated that you wish to apply for a scholarship, you will need to fill in a separate scholarship application form. This will be available in your application portal following registration. For further details on the scholarships available, please visit the scholarships page.
Requests for reasonable adjustments such as extra time or laptop must also be submitted by Tuesday 4 November 2025. Any reasonable adjustments requested will need to be supported by appropriate evidence at the time of application as follows:
