Admissions

1. The admissions process is a three-way partnership between parent, school, and child. The Admissions Team discusses with families to explain the school's offering and to answer questions. Where possible, RGSGM meets with both parents and the child to discuss fit and inform decision making. The path runs from initial enquiry to the first day of school. 2. A visit is encouraged to get a feel for RGSGM and to meet the School Leadership Team. The visit provides an opportunity to ask questions and to learn more about the school environment. The School Leadership Team is available during visits to share information and answer questions. The visit helps families form a view of the school before applying. 3. Applications are completed online to apply for a place. The Admissions Team reviews the application and reaches out to guide the family through the next steps. The online application is the route to progress in the process. 4. An assessment is arranged to understand the individual learning needs of each pupil. The assessment helps staff determine appropriate placement and support. The assessment informs the next steps in the admissions process. RGSGM welcomes new pupils into the RGSGM family.
