Admissions

Prospective pupils to Years 4, 5 and 6 (excluding pupils from our associate school, Hessle Mount) will be invited to an Assessment Day usually held in January/February each year.

All applicants will be interviewed by the Head of the Junior School, Mr Doyle, and may be asked to write a short story. As part of the Assessment Day, all applicants will be tested in Reading, Comprehension and Mathematics.

Year 4 Pupils born between 1.9.13 - 31.8.14

Year 5 Pupils born between 1.9.12 - 31.8.13

Year 6 Pupils born between 1.9.11 - 31.8.12 The majority of new pupils will join the school at the start of an academic year. Years 4, 7, 12 being when many of our pupils join. We can accept pupils throughout the academic year, please speak with a member of the Admissions Team for more information.

A deposit of £150 is paid on acceptance of a place in the school and returned when the pupil leaves.

The fees are subject to revision annually in July.

We have around 190 pupils in Year 4-6, usually with three classes in each year group.

The well-being of our students means everything to us, so we aim to make the transition between school years as smooth as possible.

Hymers Junior School pupils transition to our Senior School without the need for an Assessment Day.

Candidates sit written examinations in English and Mathematics. Prior to the formal examination they are invited into school for a morning and are tested in Numeracy, Vocabulary and Reasoning using a computer-based test. They also sit a Dyslexia screening assessment to help decide whether they need extra time for the written English and Mathematics Papers. Entrants to all year groups will have an interview with the Headmaster, Mr Stanley.

Admission to our Sixth Form for external applicants is dependent on a minimum of six excellent GCSEs, which should include those subjects that are to be pursued at A Level. All external applicants will be interviewed by the Headmaster, Mr Stanley, and will sit an online test in Verbal, Numerical and Non-Verbal Reasoning. These assessments will test academic potential independent of GCSE results.
