Visit us

Book a visit to Bassett House School

We welcome visits from parents who are considering Bassett House for their child.  Usually, we hold open events two or three times a year and we hope to publicise the date of our next open event as soon as Governmental guidelines permit.

The school is still accepting registrations and if you would like to register your child, we will acknowledge your registration and invite you for a Zoom meeting with the headmistress, Mrs Cawthorne. She will be able to talk to you about the school, answer any questions you may have and give you a virtual tour of our fabulous facilities.

For location details and a map see the Contact Us page.

We are hosting monthly Open House events for all parents of prospective pupils. Starting on Tuesday, 9 March, these will give you the opportunity to meet our Headmistress and other members of our School Leadership Team.

How to apply

Entrance procedure

Once you’ve registered and visited us, the next thing that happens depends on your particular circumstances. 

Offers for children starting the school year aged 3 or 4

Places are offered in registration order with priority given to brothers and sisters of children already at the school. In terms of timing, when you will receive an offer depends on how long it is before your child is due to start at Bassett House. For those children registered when they are babies, offers of places are sent out by post about 16 months before the child is due to start.

Offers for older children

If your child wishes to join further up the school, please contact us, to find out whether a place might be available in the relevant year group.  If it is, the school will then invite your child to undertake an assessment to establish your child’s level of attainment (focusing on Mathematics and English) to determine whether your child will be a good fit for the class and will be able to fully access the curriculum that the intended class is following.  For younger children, the assessment is more about whether your child will fit with the existing class than academic attainment. We will then let you know if and when you can expect to receive an offer.

How to accept a place

When you receive your offer, you will also be given instructions on how to accept the offer.  This involves an advance payment of fees and a deposit of £2,500.
