Admissions and Information 2017-18
“I feel a huge attachment to Cheltenham Prep. It all adds up to a very special place, from the fantastic singing in Chapel to all the special celebration events the school is so good at putting on. It will be a very sad day indeed when we, as parents, as well as our children, have to leave.� Current parent

Our Ethos At Cheltenham College Preparatory School (Cheltenham Prep), we provide an all-round, but clearly academic education that prepares children for the challenges of modern life. Fundamental to our ethos is: • E xcellence in the classroom: stimulating and inspirational teaching and learning which challenges all pupils to go beyond their respective levels of current achievement. • B readth outside the classroom: extra-curricular programmes which encourage participation, leadership, teamwork, good organisation and a variety of experiences which may sow the seeds of a lifelong interest. • N urture of, and genuine care for, individual pupils: pastoral care which is sensitive, putting children’s welfare first and which works closely in partnership with parents to ensure happy, successful and confident children. We welcome pupils with a range of abilities and, through really good teaching and learning, we will provide all pupils with the opportunity to fulfil their academic potential. Pupils are encouraged to aspire to be the ‘best they can be’. Cheltenham Prep is a special place. We will continue to provide a broad-ranging education which produces independent, self-assured and well-rounded individuals in preparation for a variety of senior schools.
“Pupils at Cheltenham Prep make excellent progress and achieve highly.” Independent Schools Inspectorate, 2016

Boarding
Co-curricular
Cheltenham Prep owes its unique atmosphere, ethos and reputation to its status as a true boarding and day school which is open 24/7. A resident team of experienced boarding staff is led by Mr Dickon Baird. Mr and Mrs Baird, together with around 40 full time Boarders and 30 regular Flexi Boarders, form a large, diverse and extremely happy family.
We have a wide range of clubs and societies as well as many different levels of sports teams, ensuring that there is an opportunity for the excellent to excel and the keen to participate and enjoy.
The Bairds and their team believe in running the House as ‘reasonable parents’ and as such, older Boarders are expected to help look after their younger boarding brothers and sisters. All Boarders and boarding staff eat together at breakfast and the evening meal, with a roast lunch every Sunday. Evenings are busy, with dedicated prep time, giving Boarders the chance to feel fully at home within the school. There is a comfortable routine for each child to follow every day, culminating in a bedtime story by torchlight – a highlight that many Boarders remember years after moving on from Cheltenham Prep. Weekends allow more time to relax, with Sunday activities ranging from on-site swimming, climbing, skate-boarding and launching model boats on The Lake, to whole House trips to local theatres and theme parks. Boarders are encouraged to enjoy all activities in small family sized groups as well as to pursue their individual interests. While we have a strong core of full time Boarders, the Boarding House also provides flexible boarding opportunities for pupils who either need, or wish, to board on a less regular basis. We call this ‘Sleepover Club’, and it is helpful when parents are away with work, when sports fixtures and drama productions mean a late finish to the school day or simply when Day pupils wish to spend more time with friends in school.
Sports offered include: athletics, badminton, cricket, cross country, golf, gymnastics, hockey, netball, polo, rounders, rugby, skiing, soccer, swimming and tennis. Hobbies, clubs and activities that can be undertaken include: archery, art, chess, choirs, cookery, craft & pottery, dance, debating, drama, fencing, forest school, gymnastics, ICT, karate, Lego Club, music groups, orchestra, polo, radio club, scouts, skiing and STEM club.
“Success in co-curricular activities is celebrated equally with academic achievement.” Independent Schools Inspectorate, 2016

Registration & Admissions Procedure Introduction Pupils may join Cheltenham Prep in any Year group, from the term in which they turn 3. Entrance is usually in September but entry at any point during the year is possible, subject to place availability. Entry into Years 7 and 8 is selective and is based upon our assessment of a child’s ability to thrive within a 10 GCSE curriculum in Cheltenham College. Entry to younger Year groups is also assessment based but this is less formal, and focused primarily on whether or not a child will thrive within our school environment. Boarding places are available for all pupils from Year 3 upwards. The Boarding House, located in the main building of Cheltenham Prep, has separate self-contained accommodation for boys and girls. Pupils wishing to enter the school as Boarders are invited to have an overnight taster Boarding Sleepover. The Admissions Team are responsible for all aspects of the entry procedure and will be happy to assist with any additional questions you may have. They can be contacted by email: prepadmissions@cheltenhamcollege.org or by telephone: 01242 522 697. More information can also be found on the website: www.cheltenhamcollege.org/prep-admissions.
Visiting Us The admissions process normally begins with a visit to the school as this is by far the best way to see all we have to offer. You are welcome to come to one of our Open Mornings or 8
to book a personal visit on a weekday during term time. A visit normally lasts around two hours and you will meet the Headmaster, Deputy Heads or another senior staff member who would be instrumental in your child’s education. You will be given a tour of the school and be able to meet our current pupils. If you are interested in a Boarding place, you will also have the opportunity to look around the Boarding House and meet Mr Baird, our Head of Boarding. If you would like to book a visit, our Admissions Team will be happy to make the necessary arrangements. Registrations for Open Mornings can also be made through our website: www.cheltenhamcollege.org/prep-admissions

Registration Registration to place your child on the entry list for admission may be made at any time. To register your child, please complete the Registration Form (located at the back of this booklet) and return it, together with copies of recent school reports and the photo page of your child’s passport, as well as the non-refundable Registration Fee of £150. Once submitted, this secures a provisional place on our entry lists and ensures that your child will be considered for a place at Cheltenham
Taster Days Prior to receiving a place offer, we request that all pupils hoping to attend Cheltenham Prep join us for a Taster Day. These are offered on school weekdays in term time and enable your child to experience a normal school day within his or her Year group. Each visiting child is given a ‘buddy’ for the day who is in the same class, making our visitors feel at home from the outset. During the Taster Day, class teachers will informally and unobtrusively assess your child to make sure that he or she would thrive within our community and to highlight any issues that might be identified. Wherever possible, pupils will also meet the Headmaster so that he can get to know them personally. We require prospective Boarders or Flexi Boarders to join us for a Sleepover in our Boarding House in addition to their Taster Day.
Entry into Kingfishers (Pre-Prep)
The 11+ Academic Assessments consist of:
Entry into all Other Years
Kingfishers, our Pre-Prep Department, includes Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. Entry is operated on a first come, first served basis upon the receipt of Registration. Offers are made subject to children completing a Taster Day or Session with us, and to our staff confirming that we are able to meet each child’s needs academically and socially.
• I SEB (Independent Schools Examinations Board) pre-tests in English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning (computerised tests)
Entry into Years 3 - 6 is operated on a first come, first served basis, upon the receipt of Registration and subject to availability. The next step is for the pupil to join us for a Taster Day and to sit our age appropriate assessments. The assessment tests are relatively informal, and designed to ensure that all new pupils can access and enjoy our curriculum. Should a pupil perform particularly poorly in these tests, this will be highlighted to the parents, and we may advise against entry.
• A short handwritten task
The aim of the Taster Day is:
Pupils entering Year 7 from within Cheltenham Prep are also required to take and pass the 11+ Assessments. Further details on the ISEB pre-tests can be found at www.iseb.co.uk.
• T o assess your child’s development informally, ensuring we can offer the most appropriate care
Any 11+ pupils applying remotely or after our 11+ Entrance and Assessment Days will also sit the ISEB pre-tests.
• T o ensure your child will be happy with us and fit in well with the other children
Pupils applying to join Year 8 sit online tests in English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. These can be taken (subject to space availability) at any time by arrangement with the Admissions Team. For candidates who are non-native English speakers, entry is also subject to a satisfactory level of English and an English as an Additional Language (EAL) paper replaces the English papers.
• T o ensure that both you and your child feel comfortable with Kingfishers
Entry at 11+ (Year 7) 11+ entry is selective and normally subject to passing our 11+ Entrance Examinations. These examinations, held in the November of Year 6, are taken at Cheltenham Prep on the 11+ Assessment Day, and are held in conjunction with our 11+ Entrance Day. All candidates must have submitted a completed Registration Form (located at the back of this booklet), before attending this day. The 11+ Entrance Day focuses on children experiencing the journey from Year 7 through to College, showcasing exciting elements which make up Prep and College life. The Entrance Day consists of group activities and taster lessons, and is inspiring, fun and enjoyable. The day gives us the opportunity to see how children integrate and interact over the course of the day and concludes with afternoon tea at College for all candidates and their families, giving everyone the opportunity to meet and speak with Prep and College staff.
Pupils who pass these 11+ or 12+ assessments will be offered a place at Cheltenham Prep; this will usually also guarantee entry into Cheltenham College at 13+, although 13+ Common Entrance will still be sat for setting purposes.
For entry into Years 3 and 4, assessments take place during the Taster Day. For entry into Years 5 and 6, we assess through online tests in English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning and these tests are also used for setting purposes. These entrance assessments should be taken on a separate day to the Taster Day. Based on satisfactory performance on Taster Days and assessments, we will proceed to offer a place. All pupils joining us in these Years will still sit our 11+ Examinations in the Autumn Term of Year 6. Pupils who pass these 11+ Assessments will normally be offered a place at Cheltenham College at 13+.
The majority of our pupils move from Cheltenham Prep to Cheltenham College at 13+. However pupils can be prepared for any senior school, for example a grammar school at 11+ or another independent school at 13+. All schools have different entry criteria so parents are asked to inform us of their child’s preferred onward school as soon as possible.

Final Acceptance and Conditions When a place is formally offered, parents or legal guardians receive an offer letter, Final Acceptance Form, Health Certificate and a copy of our Terms and Conditions. The Final Acceptance Form must be completed and signed by both parents or legal guardians, then returned to the Admissions Team together with the completed Health Certificate and the relevant Final Acceptance Fee. Final Acceptance Fees are as follows: • Kingfishers Pre-Prep to Year 6: £250 • Y ears 7 and 8: £1,000 (comprising £750 deposit and £250 Bursary Fund contribution) The Bursary Fund enables Cheltenham Prep to broaden its entry and offer bursarial support to children whose families would otherwise be unable to afford our school fees. Non-UK residents may be required to pay a full term’s fees as their Final Acceptance deposit. We reserve the right to require a banker’s reference and/or an additional deposit before a pupil, normally resident overseas, is admitted to Cheltenham Prep. In all cases, the deposit provides financial security against the final fee invoice that is raised after a pupil has left and it is put towards final outstanding items where necessary. The deposit will be refunded at the time the pupil leaves, minus sums due to the school. Once paid, if the pupil does not enter Cheltenham Prep the Final Acceptance Fee will be forfeited. Before a boy or girl is admitted to Cheltenham Prep, parents or legal guardians must sign their consent to our Terms and Conditions (attached to the Final Acceptance forms). This includes consent to adhere to all current school policies. We reserve the right to revise all policies on an ongoing basis.
10
Visa Requirements for International Pupils Some pupils may require a Tier 4 Student Visa in order to be able to study in the UK. While it is the responsibility of parents or guardians to determine whether or not their child needs such a visa (and to apply for it), the Admissions Team will provide the required Certificate of Acceptance for Study (CAS) to enable you to do this once the place has been formally accepted. The CAS is issued, on request from either parents/ legal guardians or agents, in the term prior to entry and can be used when making any visa application. Further details regarding visas and entry into the UK may be obtained from the United Kingdom Visa and Immigration (UKVI) website: www.gov.uk/child-study-visa As the rules are complex we do encourage you to read this thoroughly if you suspect that a visa might be required.

Unlike some schools, bursaries at Cheltenham College are not dependent upon performance or merit; they are available
Our aim is to support every child at Cheltenham Prep in becoming the best that he or she can be, whether excelling in a discipline or overcoming mild learning difficulties to achieve academically. The Coach House, our Learning Support Department, plays a vital role in assisting pupils for whom work is made more challenging by dyslexia, or other specific learning needs. Support is also available to pupils for whom English is an Additional Language (EAL).
All bursaries are means-tested. They are based on careful and sympathetic scrutiny of individual family circumstances and no generalisation of appropriate income levels is possible. A child must be registered before a bursary can be applied for and we strongly recommend early application as these funds are limited.
The level of support provided is recommended by The Coach House, in conjunction with assessments and discussions with parents. Lessons, delivered by qualified teachers, are offered on an individual, pair or small group basis. There are two levels of support and termly charges are as follows: Level 1
200 for 1 x weekly Coach House lesson £ (Pair or group)
Level 2
300 for 1 x weekly Coach House lesson £ (1:1)
to any pupil who is able to meet our baseline entrance requirements.
