The Admissions Process

Please feel free to explore our School prospectus and Gibson House prospectus. If you wish to join the Glenwood Family, the first step is to complete and submit an Online Enquiry form. An Application Form and procedural requirements will be forwarded once the inquiry has been received and assessed. Please indicate if your requirement is for a day scholar or for boarding and the grade your son will be entering.

On receipt, your application will be processed and presented to the Board. You will be advised of the outcome. The School does not require an assessment exam to be sat.

In processing the application the submitted information is matched against our Admissions Policy. The most recent school report is required with the application and Glenwood High School may ask the Principal of the boy’s current school to complete a Principal’s Confidential Report which is a detailed assessment of the boy’s scholastic ability, involvement in the school and character. This is kept strictly confidential between the two schools. Academic ability, character and extramural ability determine whether a boy will receive an offer of admission.

Pupils applying for places in Grades 9 to 12 are assessed on the basis of their school reports and the interview. The Principal’s Confidential Report may be required.

Once your application is successful you will be invited to an interview and a personal tour of the School and Boarding Establishment (if required).

The Admissions secretary is Mrs Terri Fritchley, telephone on 031 2744403 or terrif@glenwoodhighschool.co.za

Please note that the closing date for applications each year is the 31st of March.

ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP EXAM

The Scholarship Exam is an opportunity for the Top 5 Gr 7 boys from each of our feeder schools. The Scholarship exam is by invitation only.

The Scholarship Examination will be written on 16 March 2013.

It is not possible to prepare for the papers as they are not content orientated. The English paper is a test of literacy and general knowledge, while the Mathematics paper tests abstract thinking.

Academic Scholarships to Glenwood High School will be awarded to the top 12 applicants ranging from 100% to 25% off the school fee for the first school year and there are conditions to further awards.
