Admission to Sussex House
This website can only give you a small taste of what we do at Sussex House. Our new Virtual Tour can be viewed here.
All admission enquiries should be addressed to the Director of Admissions. Boys are accepted from the age of eight and only later if there is a place available. They may be registered at any age, but the closing date for registration is the end of October prior to September entry. There is a registration fee of £250.
Please use our online REGISTRATION FORM. Once we have received your registration, our Director of Admissions will contact you with details of the next steps.
Entrance exams are held at the school in January every year. The 2026 examinations will be on Monday, 5th January. The boys spend a half day at the school, where they have an interview and take a written exam, which shows us their potential. The examination includes English, Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning. A confidential report from the boy’s present school is requested and taken into consideration.
A good standard of English is required in the Entry Test to Sussex House. There is no specific provision for the teaching of English as a second language – however, individual tuition is provided where necessary.
There are 36 places available at 8+.
We will be holding a Prospective Parents’ Evening (for parents of 2026 candidates only) on Thursday, 9th October 2025 and a Tea and Tour for for Prospective Candidates (the boys) on Tuesday, 7th October 2025. Further details will be available from the Director of Admissions.
