In Edinburgh, several independent schools will conduct "Assessment Days" in January 2024 for admission in August/September 2024.
P1 applicants will be evaluated through play sessions and informal interviews, while other year groups and S1 candidates will take an entrance exam. Some schools may have already held assessments in November or early December.
For more details, refer to the links provided. Some schools may still accommodate last-minute assessment requests, so it's worth contacting them directly.
Offers for places will be made in early February 2024, with an acceptance deadline at the end of February for the school year starting in August/September 2024.
Note: Nursery/Preschool applications don't require an assessment but with limited spaces available we encourage early registration.
