Occasional Vacancies

Occasional Vacancies

Places occasionally become available for girls aged 5+ to join Years 1–6 at The Cavendish School, and we warmly welcome enquiries from families interested in joining our community.

In line with our entry process for Nursery and Reception, admissions for occasional vacancies are non‑selective. We do not require tests or formal assessments. Instead, we focus on ensuring that each applicant will thrive academically, socially, and emotionally within our school environment.


Taster Day Experience

For girls applying for an occasional vacancy, we invite them to spend a Taster Day with us during a normal school day. This visit allows your daughter to:

  • Meet her potential classmates
  • Experience our teaching and routines
  • Begin forming friendships
  • Gain confidence before joining

During the Taster Day, staff will observe your daughter informally to ensure she will settle well within the existing cohort. We also ask to see her recent school reports to help us understand her learning journey so far.

If your daughter is unable to visit London during term time, we can arrange an informal online meeting with a member of our teaching staff as an alternative.

You can begin the process by submitting an occasional vacancy enquiry.

How to Enquire

We encourage families to contact our Admissions Team to discuss current availability and next steps. We are here to guide you through the process and answer any questions.

You may also wish to book a school visit or ask an admissions question.
