Admission to Primary 1 is by interview with the Head Teacher. Vacancies in other Primary Classes are filled each year as a result of interview and assessment.
Admission to the Secondary Department is by Entrance Examination for pupils applying from other schools. Pupils from Fernhill Primary Department are offered automatic entry before the Entrance Examination takes place in February. Any remaining places are then offered to pupils from other schools, based on their performance in the examination.
Vacancies at other stages in the Secondary Department occur occasionally. Enquiries about these should be addressed to the Office Manager.
