We aim to make our admissions process as smooth as possible for our prospective families. Our experienced Admissions Team are always happy to answer your questions, explain our entrance procedures or arrange a visit.
With high demand for places at Felsted, parents often start enquiring about places for their children several years before entry. We do encourage this as we can offer pre-testing and early confirmation of a place in certain year groups.
