How to Apply for Senior School Admissions:

Welcome to St Lawrence College Senior School Admissions! If you’re considering St Lawrence College for your child, we invite you to visit us in person. During your visit, we’ll give you a tour of our campus and introduce you to a member of our Senior Leadership Team, who will be happy to answer any questions you may have. This is the perfect opportunity to see our school in action and learn more about how we nurture academic success and personal growth in a supportive environment.

If your family is international and interested in St Lawrence College, we ensure the admissions process is smooth and welcoming from start to finish. Our Admissions Team would be happy to arrange a virtual call for you. During this call, we can guide you through our fantastic immersive 360 tour of the school, giving you a detailed look at our facilities and everything we have to offer. You’ll also have the chance to meet some of our key staff members, so you can get a real feel for the vibrant and supportive community here at St Lawrence College.

Senior Admissions Process

Step 1: Visit the School

We warmly invite you to visit us in person! During your visit, you’ll enjoy a guided tour of our wonderful school, meet our dedicated staff and enthusiastic pupils, and have the chance to sit down with a member of our Senior Leadership Team.

We offer individual school tours during term time and during holiday periods, as well as taster visits for prospective pupils. We are also delighted to offer remote visits for families who are unable to visit us in person.

If you wish to book either an Open Day or an individual visit, please click here. Alternatively, do not hesitate to contact the Admissions Team on admissions@slcuk.com or +44 (0)1843 808080.

Step 2: Admissions Process

If you feel that St Lawrence College is the right place for your child, families are able to complete an online admissions process using our Admissions Portal, or alternatively a Registration Form, PDF version, found within the Registration Pack.

Step 3: Registration Fee

A non-refundable registration fee of £100 is required when submitting the form.

Make a Payment

Step 4: Required Documents

Please include a copy of your child’s most recent school report and their passport along with the Registration Form.

Step 5: Interview and Assessments

Your child will then have a friendly interview and complete two assessment papers in Maths and English—or in EAL if English isn’t their first language. These assessments are not a pass or fail test; rather, they help us gain a deeper understanding of your child’s current academic levels and how they might fit within their year group. If anything stands out, we’ll discuss it with you at this stage.

Following this, our Admissions Team will reach out to your child’s current school for a School Reference or, if applicable, a Suitability for Boarding Reference.

Step 6: Optional Taster Day

We also offer a taster day, where your child can spend time with us, experiencing life at St Lawrence College firsthand. It’s a wonderful way for everyone to get to know each other and to explore all that our school has to offer.

Step 7: Offers and Acceptance

After reviewing the admissions process, offers are made under the guidance of the Head of College. To secure your child’s place, simply return the Acceptance Form and pay the deposit, completing the final step of the entry process.

This step-by-step process ensures that both your family and our school feel confident and excited about the journey ahead at St Lawrence College.
