Admissions

The admissions process begins once the College has received a completed application form for your daughter (available from the College and below), together with an administration fee of £75.00.  We will acknowledge receipt of the application form by sending you the acknowledgement slip at the foot of the form so that you can rest assured that we have entered your daughter’s details on to the College database.

You will be invited to attend the College’s Open Evening, which takes place early in October each year. The evening commences with a presentation from the Principal and some of our new students in the Hall at 6pm. You can then enjoy exploring the various departments of the College, speak with our tutors and students.

Year 5 Pupils have the opportunity to attend a Year 5 experience day at the College. These are normally run in the May /June of each year. If you are interested in attending a Y5 experience day with other pupils from your school, please contact Toni Rollo, Vice Principal Tel: 01534 516214

Year 7: The Entrance Exam for students wishing to join the College in Year 7 is scheduled to take place on the second Saturday in November, you will be advised of the actual date. Your daughter will sit three papers, all multiple choice in English, Maths and Verbal Reasoning. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to keep past papers; however, we do sell packs of practice papers produced by GL Assessment (the examination body) at £10 per subject. Each pack contains 4 practice papers. These practice papers will be available for purchase at the Open Evening although you can purchase them earlier if you wish from College or from Amazon.

Years 8 and above: Students wishing to join Years 8 and above at JCG the following September will sit English and Mathematics at the end of January in the same year or at other times according to the preferred date for joining.

In all cases, and in order to assist the College with the admission process, we request student references from the Head of your daughter’s school who will provide us with various information, including her current and predicted working levels and her attitude to study.

*If you are in the UK or based abroad, arrangements can be put in place for your daughter to sit the entrance papers at your daughter’s current school, under exam conditions.
