Whole School Admissions:

Pre-Prep School (ages 2-4)

Parents are welcome to contact school at any point within the school year to make enquiries about assessment for their son/daughter for admission to our Pre-Prep school.

We do accept the Early Years Grant as a contribution to our fees; this is available for children from the term following their third birthday until the term following their fifth birthday.

We also encourage parents to visit our school and personal tours can be easily arranged by contacting prepadmissions@hulmegrammar.org.

Children are invited to spend some time in our Pre-Prep setting, either independently or alongside a small group of peers. Engaging in a variety of fun activities and games, they will work alongside our current children and the Prep School Assessor. All tasks are thoughtfully designed to be enjoyable and inclusive. This process allows your child to experience the welcoming atmosphere of HGS and allows us to be confident that your child can flourish and thrive here.
