Demand for places in our Junior Section has been so high that we have decided to open the fifth classroom this year, rather than wait until 2009 as originally planned. The next Assessment will be held on Tuesday 13 May.

If you are interested in finding out more about how to apply please contact our Admissions Secretary, Kath Heathcote on 0161 224 7201 x 234.
