To familiarise yourself with our offer, please do take a look at our Prospectus.
We warmly invite your family to visit Salesian College during one of our termly Open Events or by individual appointment. Year 5 boys can enjoy a taste of life at Salesian College by attending our Year 5 Taster Day in the Summer Term.
Families wishing to apply to Salesian College should register their Year 6 son by 12 November 2025 for the Entrance Exam, which takes place in College on Tuesday 6 January 2026.
Once your son is registered for our Entrance Exam, you will be invited as a family for your informal interview with our Deputy Headteacher in the Autumn Term of Year 6. This allows us to learn about each boy as an individual and understand the unique asset that he can be within our special community, and gives families the opportunity to gather the information that will be important for their decision-making ahead.
Offer letters will be sent to successful boys via email and post by the end of January, along with an invitation to our Offer Holders’ Evening in February. Families will need to confirm their final decision on the offer of a place by 3 March 2026.
In June, all future Year 7 students joining Salesian College in September 2026 will join us in College for our 2-day Induction Programme to help them prepare for their transition. Additionally, we offer Sports Activity Days during the Summer holidays, providing a further opportunity to develop friendships with new classmates and spend more time with Salesian staff ahead of September.
