Welcome to Admissions

At the heart of our admissions process is our friendly and experienced team who will be on hand to support and guide you through your son’s journey.

We are delighted you are considering Merchant Taylors’ School for your son. We welcome boys into Third Form (Year 7) from a range of independent and state primary schools from London, Hertfordshire & Buckinghamshire. We also have a smaller intake to join our Sixth Form at 16+.

Merchant Taylors’ is an academically selective, high-achieving school. We offer places to children who will work hard and take advantage of not just the excellent teaching but also of the wealth of opportunities on offer. In time they will earn the highest grades and develop as interesting and interested individuals.

Whilst our assessment process is rigorous, we do not believe it should create additional stress for boys or parents. Our team is on hand to answer any questions and to make the assessment as smooth and positive as possible.

The best way for you to get to know us is to come and visit. There are two Open Mornings held every year as well as the opportunity to arrange a private tour. Finally, you can also read the Good Schools Guide review to see what experts in independent education have to say about Merchant Taylors’.
