Key Dates

Register

Once you have decided that CLC is the right option for your daughter, register as soon as possible via our Admissions Portal.

Return an Entrance Exam Form

Registered parents will be sent a link to an Entrance Exam Form to complete. This confirms you want to go ahead with your daughter's application and enter her for the Assessment Day.

Assessments

Assessments are an important part of the entry process, and a great opportunity for us to meet our candidates. During assessments, we get to know candidates as learners and potential members of our community.

Offers

Our team of assessors review each candidate’s performance. Our decision to offer a place is a holistic one based on the assessment day feedback, performance in the entrance exams and the reference we request from her current Head Teacher.

Join

Parents are given access to an online portal containing our joining information and forms to be completed.

If you're hoping to join us in September 2028 or beyond, your next step is to fill in an Enquiry Form, so we have your details, and book into an Open Day to come and see our school in action. Our Admissions team will keep in touch for when it is time to start the registration process. Or, you may wish to consider applying to join us at 13+.

If you have missed the application deadlines we are occasionally able to fast track an application, although we cannot guarantee that this will result in a place. For a conversation about late entry options for your daughter, please complete an Enquiry Form via our Admissions Portal, and a member of the team will get back to you.

We do not offer scholarships or bursaries for Year 10 (14+ / UC4) entry.

Our Scholarship Programme covers Academics, Music, Art and Sports. Scholarships provide talented students with extra tuition, networking events and opportunities to develop their skills.

Scholarships do not carry a fee remission, but our means-tested bursaries do.

We are currently welcoming bursary applications for LC1 (Year 7/11+) Day and Sixth Form (16+) Day and Boarding Find out more through the links below.

Visiting us prior to the Assessment Day means that you can experience CLC in person, envision life as part of our community, and ensure we are the right school for you.

We are unable to confirm the number of places available for students interested in joining us in UC4 (14+ / Year 10). Please contact a member of our Admissions Department, who will be able to offer you further information on places available.

14+ is a competitive entry point, you may wish to consider joining us at Year 9 (13+), which offers the opportunity to settle into CLC life ahead of GCSEs, or Sixth Form (16+), as students begin their A Level or IB studies.

Yes, when joining at 14+ (UC4 / Year 10) students start their GCSE studies right away in September. New students will be joining a year group where some pupils will have already started their GCSE studies. It is important that your daughter's prior education aligns with the curriculum at CLC, so that she can integrate into GCSE studies from the outset.
