Very late to the party..but having just moved to the area I tried registering my son (already 26 month old ) fro pre-prep at EH and we received the registration saying he has a definite place so a bit confused as I really thought there was no chance whatsoever. any idea how that is possible at all? Interestingly though he doesn't have a definite place for prep..
It is not my first choice as we want Holy Ghost in Balham but if there are issues there I wanted some back-up even if it might cost me a term.
any advice/similar experience?

They don't offer prep places at Eaton house as it is exam entry

thanks..makes sense...so all you do you hope your kid can stay? why the fee then? and if they don't go through what do you do with an 8 year old?

Its exam entry for external candidates but continuous assessment for children already in the pre-prep. From what I hear, its quite rare for pre-prep kids not to be offered a place in the Prep...

I would suggest that every prospective parent should have clarity from the horses mouth on current progression policy before they join, and query it a year before each progression.

thanks, I'm on it but still waiting to hear from them so they can explain it properly. All this application process is really new to me...
