Admission to the Prep School

Badminton School Prep is a wonderful, happy school that sits on the main Badminton School campus in Bristol. The admissions process starts with what we can offer your daughter. 

It is important that Badminton is the right fit for your daughter. We want her to be happy and to thrive both academically and socially. We believe that when a girl is happy then she really will achieve her full potential.

Girls are welcome to join Badminton School Prep at any stage or point throughout the year. We do recommend you register your child at the earliest opportunity so we can ensure that we have a place available. Our admissions team will guide you through the joining process to ensure that your daughter is warmly welcomed.

What does the assessment process look like?

Assessments can happen at any point in the year providing we have a space and, for the Prep school, are arranged to suit you and your family.   

For our prospective pre-reception and reception girls, our EYFS lead will visit the girls in their nursery setting. This visit will encompass observing the girls in their environment, how they interact with their peers, and meet with their key worker to discuss their learning style.

For entry into Year 1 or Year 2, your daughter will join us for a taster day. As part of that day we will hear her read, ask her to write something, and watch how she engages with the teacher and the learning environment at Badminton School Prep. 

For Years 3 to 6, girls join us for a taster day and, as part of that day sit an online reasoning test and write a short English assessment. Overseas applicants should contact the Admissions team to discuss options.

Please do get in touch to arrange to come to one of our Open Days or to arrange a private visit.
