Following acceptance, your child will be invited to a new pupil's event in the term before they start the autumn.	Admissions 1. The Lyceum educates children aged 4 to 11, with most pupils joining in Nursery or Reception; entry to other year groups is possible where spaces exist, across five entry points from EYFS to Year 6. 2. Registrations are accepted from birth; a registration form must be completed and returned with a copy of the child's birth certificate or passport and a non-refundable registration fee (£120 via the online form). The Registrar is responsible for registrations. 3. Before an assessment, parents are encouraged to visit the school (open mornings or individual tours); offers are communicated after these visits, typically within a week of the event. 4. Foundation Stage entry (Nursery/Reception) involves an informal assessment and a meeting with the Headmistress and the Head of EYFS to assess social, physical and emotional readiness. 5. Year 1–2 entrants may spend a morning in their class; no formal examination is required if space allows, but pupils are expected to demonstrate good behaviour and social fit. 6. Year 3 entry is selective, with an interview with the Headmaster; the school offers two scholarships for Year 3 entry, with successful candidates expected to remain until the end of Year 6. 7. For Years 4–6, places may be available; entrants may participate in a taster session and sit a short online Maths and English test (GL Assessment) plus an updated report from their previous school. 8. After assessments, outcomes may be a firm place offered, a place on a waiting list, or no place offered. 9. If a place is accepted, a deposit is required (deposit amount varies by entry point) and a signed acceptance of Terms and Conditions and Parent Contract by a set date; the deposit is refundable on leaving the school with appropriate notice. 10. Scholarships are available: two scholarships may be awarded from the 7+ examination and interview process, one for academic excellence and one for Creative Arts, with up to a 10% discount on fees; scholarships remain active until the end of Year 6 provided there is continued excellent progress.
Scholarships	Scholarships Scholarships and exhibitions are part of Eaton House The Manor and Eaton House Belgravia progression, with a track record of pupils achieving senior-school scholarships and exhibitions. In 2026, Eaton House The Manor reported over 41 top scholarships and awards across its Prep and Girls' School, with 22 scholarships and exhibitions for the Prep campus and 19 for the Girls' School. Scholarships and exhibitions have included offers to a range of top senior schools such as Westminster, St Paul's, JAGS, Emanuel, Downe House, Godolphin & Latymer, Wimbledon High and many others. The results reflect a culture of high achievement and recognition across academics, sports, drama, art and music.	Scholarships Two scholarships may be awarded as a result of the 7+ examination and interview process: one scholarship for academic excellence and one for Creative Arts, with up to a 10% discount against the school's fees. Scholarships remain active through to the end of Year 6, provided the pupil maintains excellent progress. The Year 3 entry policy confirms two scholarships are available for entrance at Year 3, with the expectation that successful candidates remain until the end of Year 6.
Waitlist	Waitlist Waiting lists exist for entry. Nursery and Reception entries use waiting lists in practice: Nursery places are offered 15 months prior to entry in registration date order, so early registration improves chances. For Reception, after registration a place is held and a decision is typically made with offers occurring about 12 months before entry, with a Head teacher tour around 18 months before entry. These timelines reflect a structured progression from registration to offer, helping families plan ahead.	Waitlist The school maintains a waitlist for admission; past cohorts show entries with waiting list positions alongside offers. For example, the leavers' destinations data reports waitlisted places in multiple cohorts, indicating that a waitlist exists as part of the admissions process.
