REGISTER YOUR CHILD
After visiting, parents should register their child via our online portal and pay the £150 registration fee.
To register simply click the button below and you will be redirected to the Registration Form. The Registration fee can also be paid online.
Offer
Priority without guarantee, subject to places being available, will be given to siblings provided they are registered at least three months before the anticipated starting date and their sibling is attending Ruspini when he/she starts. This priority only applies to the offer of a place, not to the allocation of particular sessions e.g. morning/afternoon. Parents wishing to register siblings should do so as soon as possible following birth.
Whenever possible offers are made six months before the anticipated start date. Places are offered strictly in order of registration.
ACCEPTANCE
We ask parents to accept their offer of a place within two weeks. At this time, a deposit is also payable. Your child’s place is then confirmed at RMS for Girls and you will be invited to stay and play sessions to help your child settle as quickly as possible into Ruspini.

Joining in Years 1 – 6
With the rarest of exceptions, all Year 6 pupils are guaranteed a place in the Senior School and move seamlessly into Year 7. It is because of the automatic entry to Senior School that demand for places in these year groups is highly sought after and places are limited. Joining RMS prior to Year 4 is recommended.
ASSESSMENT
There is no formal assessment for entry into our Reception class instead we invite prospective Reception pupils to join us for a Taster Morning in January where they are observed by our highly trained Early Years staff.
Entry into all other year groups is by a more formal assessment which also takes place in January prior to entry.

OFFER
If your daughter is successful in her assessment we will make an offer of a place.
ACCEPTANCE
Places at Cadogan House are extremely coveted, so we ask parents to accept their offer within two weeks. A £750 deposit is also required at this point to secure the place.
All new pupils are invited to induction days, or stay and play sessions for Reception, during the Summer term.
