Rougemont accepts Year 7 Senior School entry and asks families to register during the autumn term for a formal entrance and scholarship assessment morning. It welcomes tours and taster days. The current joining page does not list ordinary Year 7 test subjects or a dated 2027 sitting, so ask the school for the relevant format and date.
