Let's get your boots on because if you're reading this mid-January 2026, the window for applications is narrowing. You need to take action now.

Schools with formal processes should have their deadlines listed on their websites. If not call the school or schools you are applying to and enquire about their application time frames.

Where the process is less formal, compile your child's cv and send that off with your son or daughter's final Grade 6 report, to the headmaster, and use the 'acknowledge receipt' tool.
