Admissions
In the first instance parents should arrange a visit to the school to meet the Head Master and see the school in action during term time. The next step is the completion of the Application Form, which should be sent to the Head Master together with the Registration Fee (non-returnable) as set out on the fees list enclosed with the prospectus.

Boys enter the school either at the age of 13 through the Scholarship or Common Entrance Examinations, or at 11 by a brief, informal interview and examination, or by direct entry into the Sixth Form depending on GCSE results.
Whilst The Oratory is a Catholic school, boys of all traditions are welcome. Catholic spirituality is at the heart of the school and is expressed by the attendance of Mass in the Chapel and school worship that develops the boys' understanding of the virtues that make the school a real community and extends that concept to home and family life.
