Send us a registration form, exam entry form, subject choice form, a copy of the girl's birth certificate and a cheque for £125 (registration fee – not required if you're only applying for a bursary).

If you'd like to apply for a bursary on the grounds of financial need or apply for a music scholarship, please indicate this on the application form.

1 November 2011

Tests in candidates' AS/A level subjects. We'll shortlist girls for interview based on their test results.

12 November 2011

Interviews with shortlisted candidates about their academic performance and wider interests.

Beginning of December 2011

We send out results. If we offer you a place, you will need to confirm your acceptance with a deposit of 50 per cent of a term's fees. If one or more parent/guardian is resident outside the UK, we ask for a deposit of a full term's fees. There are reduced deposits for successful bursary candidates. If you're on the waiting list and a place at St Paul's becomes available, we'll ask you to pay the deposit when you confirm your acceptance.

Summer term

We send you an information pack. Once girls have finished their GCSEs, we invite them to St Paul's for a pre-induction day to meet our staff and some of their current year group.
