Joining 1st
Form
First Form pupils join our fabulous Junior House, home to all our 1st and 2nd Form pupils. Surrounded by its own playing fields and gardens, Junior offers a nurturing environment with a wonderful sense of community, energy and fun.
For many pupils, their LWC adventure begins in Junior House. Whether joining from one of our excellent local primary or prep schools, or further afield, Junior is a nurturing space where children can be children, while benefitting from the fabulous facilities of a leading senior school.
The ideal time to register for a place is two years prior to entry.
All candidates who have registered are invited to sit the LWC Pre-Test, which can be taken either at their current school or at the College in the Autumn term of Year 6. For further information on the LWC Pre-Test, please click here.
In addition, all candidates are invited to our innovative assessment morning, which allows us to evaluate their full potential in creative thinking, problem solving, analysis and teamwork. For further information on our assessment morning, please click here.
We also request reports from current schools during the Autumn term of Year 6, and offers are made prior to the February half term of that year.
Our holistic assessments engage a wide range of learners, identifying where a child can excel through curiosity, and highlighting the ability to apply themselves to new ideas and problems. Our tests have been specifically designed to improve accessibility and level the playing field for children from all backgrounds.
The registration window closes on 1st December prior to the year of entry. If you miss this date, and we still have places available, we are happy to accept late applications. Please contact the admissions team to discuss this.

Keeping in Touch and Orientation Days
Once you have accepted a place, we’ll keep in touch with news and invitations to events so that by the time your child joins us you’ll all feel part of the LWC family.
Our orientation day in the summer term gives all our new pupils the chance to meet with their new classmates and have a great afternoon out and about on our fabulous campus. There will, of course, also be lots of information heading your way about uniform, Houses, co-curricular activities, sports camps, music lessons, and lots more. All our Keeping in Touch communications are designed to offer advice and support to families as they prepare to join LWC, and we encourage you to call us with any questions you may have.
All new pupils are allocated pupil buddies who will welcome them and help them settle in quickly. Our environment of kindness, the +1 of our 5 pillars, makes kindness part of our daily lives.
If you have missed a deadline or have any questions about making an application, please don’t hesitate to contact the admissions team, who will be very happy to help you.
