After we have received your application form, we then look to see if we can offer you a prospective week at Brockwood. This week is an important time as it enables you to get first hand experience of what the School is like and to decide whether or not this is really the right place for you. The week also allows us at Brockwood to get to know you, in order to see whether we feel we can offer you a place in the School.

Normally a prospective week is done while the School is in progress, and a daily programme is arranged for you which includes a variety of classes and outdoor activities. For students applying after May, it will be necessary to attend the prospective week in early September.

Your prospective week is normally arranged in October-November, or the middle of February to the middle of June (excluding the Easter half-term break). We require prospective students to arrive at Brockwood by 7pm on Wednesday evening, in time for the beginning of the School week (Tuesday and Wednesday are our weekend) and to leave on the following Tuesday morning. The exact dates for the week are confirmed once you have told us your preference.

At the end of the week the school director meets with you to discuss how the week has gone and to see if you still wish to attend the School. You then return home and shortly afterwards staff and students meet to discuss your application. The directors then make a decision based on all the information they have and you are informed by letter of the outcome.

If you have been offered a place at Brockwood, we then ask that you let us know as soon as possible whether or not you wish to accept the offer. If you accept, a deposit is due to secure your place in the School.
