Admissions Registrar

Description

Christ’s Hospital is proud to remain one of only four co-educational full boarding schools in the UK. What is so exceptional about Christ’s Hospital is the extent of the resources on offer: outstanding staff, a comprehensive range of activities including societies like the Medics Group to help with university applications plus extensive and impressive facilities. When pupils join Christ’s Hospital, they are encouraged to make use of the wonderful amenities on site, and we ensure they get the most out the school.
The school is unashamedly academic – with 98% of pupils moving on to the leading universities each year.

Tuition costs

In 2022 / 23, the cost for tuition and full boarding for international students is £41,340, or £13 780 per term.

Accommodation

Christ’s Hospital is a full boarding school, with 95% of the students at the school 7 days per week. We have 18 boarding houses, which is home to 850 students. We are able to consider applications for day students, who are resident at home with their family, but we are unable to consider home-stay.

On a day-to-day basis, students are cared for by their boarding house team including the house parent, assistant houseparent and two matrons. Students also have regular meetings with their academic tutor.
Most staff live on site and are available during the weekends and evenings.

The facilities lend themselves to sporting success, as does the employment of dedicated coaching staff and the school has a long-standing tradition of sporting success.
Our diverse curriculum encourages life skills and offers an enormous range of sport, music, art, drama and outward-bound activity.

Application process

The first step is to register for a place. This can be Submitted Online Here.
A copies of the birth certificate, passport ID page and latest school report are required, along with a registration fee of £75.
Once the registration form has been completed and submitted with the required fee, I would be pleased to arrange a suitable date for the entrance papers and online test at the agent offices or current school. These should be completed by the end of December in the year before enrolment – ie December 2023 for September 2024 entry, if possible.
• Mathematics Paper – 1 hour (2-hour paper for entry to Year 11 and Year 12)
• English Paper – 1 hour
• Computer based cognitive ability test – 90 minutes
Once the papers have been completed, I hope that we will be in position to arrange an online interview, with a member of the CH teaching staff. This can be completed either from your offices or an alternative location (e.g., from home) on another date. I hope we will then be in a position to offer a place.
