From September 2025 onwards; if you have missed the registration date for the entrance test in September 2025, there is a Late Test on 31st January 2026.  

Please note that the Late Test is to give your child an opportunity to join the Waiting List.  Regrettably, they will not be able to be offered a place on National Allocation Day, due to the timescales involved.
