Open Evening

You are very welcome to attend our open evening where you will have the opportunity to take a tour of the school led by our fantastic pupils, speak to our staff about our academic provision, and experience our warm and supportive environment for yourselves. You can also find out more about sixth form, including the subjects available and our rich co-curricular programme.

Year 9 – Year 11 Enrolment

Admission to any year group will be governed by the availability of places within that year group, class sizes (including practical class sizes), planned allocation and usage of staff, accommodation and other resources. The number of places available is at the discretion of the Principal.

Applicants who have registered on the waiting list maybe invited to sit a standardised test. Bloomfield Collegiate School reserves the right to change the date of the test due to unforeseen circumstances.

Sixth Form Enrolment

The majority of our students continue to Advanced Level and follow a two-year programme (Years 13 & 14), selecting three or four A Level subjects from a wide range of options. Our Sixth Form also attracts pupils from other schools who wish to avail of the high-quality educational and co-curricular experience we offer. If you would like to join Bloomfield for A Levels, please contact the school.
