Join the Cokethorpe community.
Open Mornings and Visits
Discover the heart of Cokethorpe by joining us for one of our Open Mornings and personal tours. These occasions are designed to give you a true sense of our vibrant community, our ethos, and the opportunities awaiting your child.
We offer regular Meet the Head events, affording families the opportunity to hear from our Head, Dr Sarah Squire, and for an informal Q&A over refreshments. These events run from 9.30am to 10.30am with optional tours of the Prep School, Senior School, or the Sixth Form Centre commencing thereafter.
Admissions Process
Our admissions process is clear, supportive, and tailored to your child’s stage of education. From initial enquiry to registration, we ensure every family feels informed and confident.
Check the processes and requirements for your child’s entry to Cokethorpe, which varies depending on the year group your child will join.

Scholarships and Awards
At Cokethorpe, we celebrate talent and dedication. Our scholarships and awards recognise pupils who demonstrate exceptional ability or commitment, encouraging them to flourish academically and personally.
Learning at Cokethorpe School is a dynamic and challenging process. We want every pupil to be ready to challenge themselves and to embrace the many opportunities that the School offers. Our Scholarships and Awards aim to recognise and promote those who embody the attitude and approach to learning that we value, as well as those with a particular aptitude for a subject or activity.
Fees and Bursaries
We believe in making a Cokethorpe education accessible. Our transparent fee structure and means-tested bursaries ensure that financial circumstances do not stand in the way of opportunity.
Our termly fees and additional charges – such as the Cokethorpe Transport Network and Individual Music Tuition – are available for the current academic year. The School offers bursary awards to those parents whose income is such that they would not otherwise be able to pay the full fees and are decided at the discretion of the Head, in consultation with the Bursar and in accordance with the policy agreed by the Board of Governors.
