Entry Procedures

Admission is usually at 11+, 13+ or 16+ although we are able to make arrangements for children who wish to transfer to Hereford Cathedral School at other ages, subject to a satisfactory performance in an entrance examination and to the availability of places.

Visits

We are always pleased to arrange visits for both parents and pupils and believe it is the best possible way to find out about the School. A typical visit would consist of an interview with the Headmaster and a tour of the School, where you would see pupils carrying out their day-to-day activities and have an opportunity to view the School’s facilities. Visits usually last approximately one and a half hours.

The Admissions Secretary on 01432 363506 or via admissions@hcsch.org will be pleased to arrange an appointment for you.

Registrations

Parents wishing to enter a child for admission to Hereford Cathedral School are asked to complete a Registration Form, and return it to the Admissions Secretary. There is a non-returnable Registration and Examination fee for all pupils seeking admittance to the School.

Registration Forms can be downloaded from the 'Downloads / Forms' link. Hard copies may be obtained from the Admissions Secretary on 01432 363506 or via admissions@hcsch.org

Completion of the Registration Form ensures that the child’s name is on the prospective pupil registration entry list and also ensures that the relevant information will be sent to you at the appropriate time. Admission is then dependent upon passing the appropriate Entrance Examination (with the exception of a Sixth Form candidate, whose admission is conditional upon his/her GCSE results).
