Please also include in your application if your child is particularly musical or sporty, and our Director of Music and Director of Sport will be in touch with you to discuss how we could further stretch your child’s abilities if they were to gain a place. We will also request a reference from your child’s school and a copy of their latest report in advance of the assessment day.

To ensure pupils feel ready to join our WGPS family, we host a transition day for all new 7+ joiners in July, which includes a transition picnic in the afternoon with new parents and current parents alike.

This is a wonderful opportunity for children to get to know their new teachers and classmates, and for parents to feel a part of our the school community from the onset.
