Each girl will also have an interview with a senior member of staff. In addition, references are obtained from the girls’ current school. Information on the Scholarship Assessment is included in the Application Form.

Entrance Exams for Applicants Overseas

Our preferred entrance test is the UKISET, this needs to be taken before Tuesday 2 January 2024 to be considered in the first round of results. If overseas candidates have met the initial assessment criteria, they will be invited for an interview with a senior member of staff via video conference. Alternatively, girls can choose to sit Badminton’s entrance examinations at a small number of selected test centres around the world on Wednesday 10 January 2024.

If overseas applicants wish to apply for a Scholarship, Badminton entrance exams must be taken and in some instances the Scholarship Assessment will only take place at the School. Please contact our Admissions Team for more details.
