Wherever possible, Kimichi school will offer a place to any pupil. Where this is not possible, the school will look at who will best benefit from the educational and musical ethos aspired to at the school. The headteacher and staff will consider reports, references, and may invite potential applicants in for an interview before a decision is made. At any stage, if the school feels that it would help to make an informed decision, an appointment may be arranged for parents to come into the school to discuss their child’s application.

There is no admission test for school, however we do ask that prospective students demonstrate whatever musical ability they have. This can be through demonstrating to our staff, a more formal audition for those with higher grades or simply being observed taking part in a class music lesson.

Simply liking music won’t quite cut it – we need to see your love and passion for the subject that drives everything we do in school! You don’t have to be Andre Rieu to come here – just a love of music that you can demonstrate!
