In Year Admissions
'In-Year' admissions:
This refers to applications for school places for any year of entry other than Year 7, or for Year 7 after the waiting lists close on 31 December. This process applies to any secondary school age child whether they are currently without a school place or are wishing to change schools.
Entry to Newstead Wood School is dependent on the results of a competitive entry test.
If you wish to place your daughter on our waiting list then you must contact the Schools Admissions Department at the London Borough of Bromley and ask for an In Year Application Form. Their email address is inyear.admissions@bromley.gov.uk.
Once this is completed and returned to them, they will place your daughter on the waiting list.
If a place becomes available we will contact all those on the relevant waiting list and invite them into the school to sit a competitive entrance test. This would normally occur in the June before the start of the next academic year - we will only run a test if a space is available and we will not be in contact if there are no spaces available. It will not be necessary to contact Newstead Wood School to ask if there are any places available.
The test involves verbal, non-verbal, quantitative and spatial reasoning. The results of the test will be put into rank order and the place offered to the candidate at the top of the list, provided that they have reached the same academic standard as students already in the school. Please note that the catchment area of 9 miles applies for in year admissions.
