For admissions heads

From the first enquiry to the signed enrolment.

For the admissions head with places to fill for 2028, an enquiry nobody answered and a website a year behind.

    Slooch Admissions

    Each applicant's form, documents, readiness assessment, interview, decision and offer on one page, and re-enrolment for every returning family each year.

  • The school portal's admissions screen listing applicants by stage

    Slooch Sites

    The school's page shows the current notices and term dates, so a family looking at the school sees this term, not last year.

  • A long red-brick school building with slate roofs, gables and stone-framed windows behind mature trees

    Slooch Notices

    Offers, reminders and welcome notices reach each family, and you see who has read them.

The parts an admissions head champions

How it works

An applicant, from enquiry to enrolment

Step 1 of 6

The school portal's trip list for 8B, showing the 14 learners whose trip payment is still outstanding

Step 1

The application arrives

The family applies with its documents. An enquiry form on the school's site that sends each enquiry to Admissions is planned.

Step 2

Documents checked

You see which documents are verified and which are still outstanding, and ask the family for the one that is missing.

Step 3

Interview and readiness assessment

You book the interview and add the readiness assessment to the applicant's page.

Step 4

Decision and offer

You enter the decision and send the offer, and the family accepts it in the app.

Step 5

Enrolled, with nothing typed twice

The enrolled family's details carry into Notices and Fees, because every part uses the same families and learners.

Step 6

Re-enrolment each year

Each returning family confirms whether its child is coming back next year, and you see who has not answered.

Questions

Questions admissions heads ask

Can families apply from our own website?

Not yet. An enquiry form on the school's page that sends each enquiry to Admissions is planned. Today families apply through the school's Slooch application form, and each application arrives with its documents.

Does a waiting list come with it?

A waiting list is planned, with applicants kept in order for a place and the family kept informed. Today each decision and offer sits on the applicant's page.

What happens to an applicant's details once they enrol?

They carry into the rest of Slooch. The family account and the learner are the same people Notices, Fees and the register use, so the office does not type them again.
