Strathmore admits students from widely differing backgrounds. Every year, the number of applicants for admission far exceeds the number of places available. All applicants are required to sit a written test. The Admissions Committee selects those students who demonstrate ability to cope with Strathmore’s demanding academic standards and who show ability to become active, productive members of the School community.
The admission procedure is as follows:
• Fill in and return an Application Form. Application Forms may be collected from the school Secretary or may be mailed to you on request.
•Standard Ones:
•If you are applying for Standard One, you should pick up the form during working days from March to June.
•The Entrance Exam: Strathmore Primary Test (SPT) is usually in June.
•Eligible pupils are those who turn seven in the year they will be in Standard One.
•Primary Transfers:
•For transfer applicants of Standard Two to Seven, application forms can be picked up from the school secretary’s office from the first week of November.
•The exam is taken in the last week of November.
•Short listed candidates will be put on a “waiting list” and may be offered a place if a vacancy arises.
•Form Ones:
•Form One applicants can pick up application forms from beginning of March.

Applicants who qualify for admission are also eligible for a bursary on the basis of their financial needs and family circumstances. It is the School's policy that no deserving boy who meets our admission requirements should be prevented from accepting a place because of inability to pay the fees. The Bursary Fund depends on donations. Regular appeals are made to parents, past students and friends for contributions to the Bursary Fund.
