APPLYING FOR A PLACE

The first step in the process for any admission is to complete and return the Registration Form and pay a registration fee. Further details can be found on our admissions page here. Elizabeth College is a very popular school and we encourage families to make their application to Year 7 early, to avoid disappointment.

OPEN MORNING

Open Morning is undoubtedly the best way to experience everything Elizabeth College can offer. It is the perfect way to see what life is like at our lively, academically stretching, supportive, broadening and enjoyable school.

Date: 18 April 2026

Families considering entry in 2027 and beyond are especially welcome.

Elizabeth College Open Morning is held annually around Easter-time and is an excellent opportunity to explore the life and work of the College. Students considering entry and their parents, family and friends are welcome to come and see what life is like at our lively, academically stretching, supportive, broadening and enjoyable school. There are activities, demonstrations and displays throughout the campus and students and staff will be on-hand to answer any questions about life at Elizabeth College. Refreshments will be served.

ENTRANCE ASSESSMENT

The Elizabeth College Entrance Assessment is in October and, subject to availability of places, a second sitting of the entrance assessment for entry to Year 7 each September may be held during Lent Term. The assessment takes the form of a suite of online tests that assess a candidate’s reasoning (thinking) abilities in four key areas of educational development and academic attainment: verbal, non-verbal, numerical and spatial.

These tests provide a standardised measure of cognitive reasoning ability, without reference to curriculum-based material and regardless of previous achievements, with the basic aim of ensuring candidates will be able to cope with the College’s curriculum. Whilst candidates are not expected to revise or prepare specifically for this test, it will be useful to familiarise them with the types of questions they may encounter.

Registration for September 2026 entry has now closed.
