Welcome to Admissions at Wellow House

When you’re choosing a school it’s important it’s the right fit for everyone, so a personal tour or Wellow House Open Day Open Event is a great way for families to get to meet our Headmaster and staff, find out more about Wellow House life and the fantastic facilities we have here, before applying to the school.

We are here to hold your hand through the admissions process and encourage our parents to share any concerns they may have; however trivial they may think they are. To register your interest in visiting our school, please click here to request a visit.

Pre-Preparatory Department (Ages 2 to 7)

Children can join Wellow House Pre-Prep from their second birthday through to Year 2, enjoying a nurturing and stimulating environment where they can learn, explore and grow in confidence.

Places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend registering your child as early as possible to secure their place.

To apply, please complete the application form below. Alternatively, we warmly invite you to arrange a personal visit to explore our facilities, meet our staff and discover what makes Wellow House a special place to begin your child’s educational journey.

Preparatory Department
Children from the Pre-Prep will normally pass into the Prep Department automatically at Year 3 (age 7). In addition to this, we do have new pupils join the school into various year groups from Year 3 onwards. The main intake is from September but children may be admitted part way through the academic year if places are available. Wellow is not academically selective but children entering the Prep department will be assessed to allow them to be placed into the correct set.

Senior Department
Children from the Prep Department will normally pass into the Senior Department automatically at Year 7 (age 11). In addition to this, we do have new pupils join the school into various year groups from Year 7 onwards. The main intake is from September but children may be admitted part way through the academic year if places are available.
