01
Private tour
A 90-minute visit with the Head of Admissions. You'll walk the campus, meet a few children, and sit in on a lesson. We ask for no preparation — just come and look.

Admissions
Come in. Have a look.
Joining Circa is less about a test and more about a fit. We take three steps — a tour, a taster day, a conversation — then we decide together.
Three steps to a place.
02
Taster day
A full school day for your child. They'll sit in the right year group, take part in two core lessons and one elective, and eat lunch in the main hall. At the end of the day we sit down together for twenty minutes.

Book a Tour
We'd love to show you round.
Private tours run every Tuesday and Thursday during term, from 09:30 or 13:30. The Head of Admissions will meet you at the gate, walk the campus with you, and answer anything you'd like to ask. Please allow around 90 minutes.
If it's easier to talk first, we are happy to — just call or email.
