Admission

Year 7 and Year 9 (Age 11+ and 13+)

Years 3-6 and Year 8

• Occasionally spaces become available so parents are welcome to apply

Sixth Form

• Due to pressure on places from our own pupils we are unable to consider external applicants.

The Royal Alexandra and Albert School has experienced extraordinary success over the last few years. Excellent results combined with affordable fees have made this the first choice for many parents seeking a boarding education for their child.

As a result of increasing demand, in September 2008 more places are being made available for boarders to join in Year 7 and Year 9.
