Entry Ages
ENTRY POINTS & AGE RANGES
The age ranges for enrolment into different year groups throughout our school are listed below.
Whilst we accept applications throughout the year, please note we will not assess applicants any earlier than 12 months prior intended enrolment date, and no place will be offered until the school is content that all entry criteria (including satisfactory assessment) have been met.
Where assessment is successful and a place is offered for enrolment into EY1 to Year 9 (subject to availability), arrangements can be made for children to start at any point during the academic year.
Places are not usually offered part way through GCSE (Years 10 and 11) or A-level (Years 12 and 13) programmes at Riverside but may be considered in exceptional circumstances.
