- Will my child need to sit an entrance assessment?
-
Regents is a non-selective school, which means prospective students don’t need to pass an exam to join us. However, we do ask every child to sit an age-appropriate assessment. This helps us to understand individual learning needs and preferences, and determine the level of support we need to provide.
-
- How long does the admissions process take?

-
- How will you help my child settle in?
-
We know how important it is for your child to get off to a great start. We’ll send you plenty of information ahead of your child’s start date. Your child will also be allocated a ‘buddy’, a current student who will show them the ropes, answer any questions, and make them feel at home. They’ll also make sure your child is included at break and lunchtimes, and help them integrate into new friendship groups.
