Entrance
Reception is main point of entry, though plenty arrive in later years. In fact, classes expand from single form entry to two form entry in year 4 and to three form entry in years 5 (‘when families often move schools due to the middle school system’) and 6 (‘when families become attracted by the school’s transition model’). Selective, but not massively. Pupils coming into reception do a language acquisition exercise (looking at pictures and answering questions), while those coming into years 1 and 2 do phonics and counting papers plus a play based activity. For years 3 and over, there are maths, English and VR tests. No nursery.
