Pupils are normally admitted to the Senior School at 11, 13 and at 16. It may sometimes be possible to admit pupils into other years: enquiries should be made to the Registrar. Very occasionally, it is possible for pupils from overseas to enter the Sixth Form, subject to satisfactory arrangements being made with an appropriate relative or guardian. Sixth Form candidates are admitted by interviews with the Head of Sixth Form and Heads of Departments and on the strength of their GCSE results; all other applicants take an appropriate examination.

In assessing all applicants to the Senior School, we are keen to look for potential, not simply current attainment. We take a keen interest in the school reference, the wider interests of the pupil, and any other applicable information. The MCS papers and interviews are designed to explore the way in which each candidate thinks, helping us to assess overall promise. No special preparation is expected or required for the tests.

MCS keeps its annual fee as low as possible, and believes that it offers outstanding value. To find information from the Bursar on fees and other related topics use the left hand link.
