Prospective Pupils Pre-Offer Visit Day

Prospective pupils will be invited to visit QCPS and meet our Reception teachers during the Michaelmas Term prior to the September when they would join us. During this visit, prospective pupils will undertake an informal, play-based assessment. This session is not something that parents should worry about or prepare their daughters for; it is simply to ensure that all girls who are offered a place will be able to make the most of the opportunities available at QCPS.
