Admission requirements at AHS
Avenue House School admits boys and girls from the age of three years, regardless of race, religious views or physical ability.
Avenue House School does not test children upon entry. We believe that all children develop at their own independent rate and if a child is a confident speaker in the Foundation Phase this may not reflect his/ her academic ability and vice versa. Once a child has a place at the school, they will be tested by the form teacher to ascertain their ability so that planning and differentiation may be employed.
Parents may register their child as early as they wish. Parents are advised to register for the earliest date which can then be deferred if necessary.
Once a registration form has been received we will acknowledge this in writing, advising parents of the date that offers will be made, usually up to a year before admission.
Places will be allocated in order of registration with priority given to siblings.
Please note that it is not school policy to prepare pupils for other preparatory establishments. Places will be offered to children whose parents wish them to continue their education at Avenue House School until the age of 11, with the exception of personal relocation.
