Admissions Process

Through the admissions process, we aim for you and your child to get a real sense of life at Aldro and most importantly, for them to love their every experience of Aldro.

Being broadly academically selective, our admissions process is guided by our desire to identify children who are able to benefit from our balanced and well-rounded education and to make a positive contribution towards the life of the school.

Our main entry points are Form 3 (age 7+) and Form 7 (age 11+) although pupils will be considered for other years of entry if places are available.

Learning about your child

Taster Morning

An opportunity for your child to experience a little of Aldro life for themselves, to meet their potential peers and members of staff, at the same time as taking our assessments. Depending on the point of entry, this is either through a group or individual Taster Morning. Our Form 3 Taster Morning is typically in the second half of the Christmas term.

If either we, or the parents, believe that learning support may be needed, our learning support staff will be asked to contribute to the Taster Morning. We require parents to alert us to any known learning support needs on the Registration and Entry Assessment Forms. Reports are requested from previous schools and should be received prior to the Taster Morning.
