Admissions

Begin here.

Applications are open for all year groups — Foundation Stage through Senior Secondary — for the 2025/2026 academic year.

What We Look For

Not just the
best results.
The best students.

Olives Academy is selective, but we do not select on academic results alone. We look for the whole person — and we interview every candidate, regardless of age.

  • Curiosity — students who ask questions, read widely, and are genuinely interested in the world around them
  • Character — students who treat people well and take responsibility for their actions
  • Drive — students who want to do well and are willing to work for it
  • Readiness — students who are ready to be challenged, stretched, and occasionally uncomfortable
How to Apply

Four steps
to joining us.

01
Submit an Expression of Interest

02
School Visit & Assessment
Prospective students attend a half-day visit during term time. We want to meet the child — not just review their records. The visit includes a tour, a short assessment, and an informal conversation with a member of the academic team.

Successful candidates receive a formal offer of place within five working days of their visit. Our admissions team provides full guidance on documentation, fees, and uniform requirements.
