The Admissions Process

Visit us
Nothing will demonstrate the happy and vibrant environment we have at Dover College better than a visit. You will have the chance to meet our Headmaster as well as have a tour of our facilities. Please let us know what your child is interested in so that we can make the absolute best of your time here.

Register Your Child
Should you feel that Dover College is a suitable school for your child, our Admissions Team will be glad to send you the registration paperwork. At this stage, we will also require copies of your child’s two previous school reports, a copy of their birth certificate or passport and the non-refundable registration fee of £100.

Any Other Information
If your child receives any form of learning support, then please include this information at the time of registering and send us a copy of the most current educational psychologist’s report. A meeting will then be arranged with our own SENCO in order to assess the level of support needed and whether or not we are in a position to provide it.

Assessment
We are proudly non-selective and do not have entrance exams. Assessment for Senior School is done via the school reports sent at the time of registration as well as an interview with the Headmaster or another member of the Senior Leadership Team. For Nursery or Prep School entry, all children are required to have at least one taster session before an offer can be made. All Senior School entrants will be offered a taster day in the term before entry.

Offer
If the interview or taster session is successful, we will send you an offer of a place along with a copy of our Parent Contract and the acceptance paperwork. A place is confirmed on receipt of the signed acceptance forms and the £500 advance payment. This sum is then deducted from the first invoice.
