Pre-Prep and Prep school admissions
The application deadline for September 2026 entry is 5th December 2025
Prospective parents are invited to visit our Pre-Prep and Prep School during Open Events at Burgess Hill Girls. However, appointments to visit may also be arranged for other times.
If, following your visit, you wish to register an application you will need to complete a Registration Form. You will also be required to arrange payment of the £180 registration fee (inclusive of VAT). Once received we would then arrange for your daughter to join us for a taster day and/or invite her to join us for entrance testing.
The Beatrice Goode Award
As we celebrate 120 years of empowering tomorrow’s women, Burgess Hill Girls is proud to launch the Beatrice Goode Award. Inspired by our pioneering founder, this award offers academically able girls entering Years 3–5 the chance to join our vibrant community with transformational support towards school fees. Designed especially for families who may not have considered independent education, it reflects our commitment to widening access and nurturing potential. Could your daughter be part of the next generation of trailblazing girls? Find out more here.
Formal & Informal Assessments
Entry is by assessment, students in year 1 or year 2 are assessed in an informal way as part of a taster day. Students sit written papers for entry into Year 3 and above, but we always look beyond purely academic results in deciding whether to offer a place. Students who are looking at entry into reception will not be assessed or able to join us for a taster day, we will however request a report or tracking sheet from their current nursery (if applicable).
Scholarships
We have a number of scholarships available to girls entering in Year 5 which last until the end of Year 8. These are open to both internal and external candidates and are awarded for academic and musical excellence, if the required standard is achieved. Please contact our admissions team for further information.
Mid Year Places
It is possible to admit girls mid-year if there are places available.
