Step 5 - Entrance Assessments and Interview
Your child will be invited to sit an entrance assessment in January, prior to the new session beginning in August. Kindergarten and Junior 1 applicants take part in an observed play session, J2-6 applicants are invited to a 'Getting to Know You' Day while all other applicants will complete written assessments. In Senior School, candidates who have performed well in our entrance assessments will be invited to an interview with a member of our Leadership Team.

Step 6 - Secure Your Place
Following entrance assessments and interviews, pupils who have been successful will receive a formal offer letter in the post. This must be completed and returned with the relevant documentation in order to secure your child's place at The High School of Glasgow. Successful candidates will begin their High School journey at the start of the new session in August (unless otherwise arranged). Time to experience the joy of learning!
