Admissions

The Admissions Office

Two things happen here. A grown-up may leave an address, and the first three chapters will follow. And anyone at all may be sorted into a house, and receive a letter with her own name on it, which the school asks nothing whatever in return for.

For grown-ups

St Elowen’s writes to the grown-ups

Leave your address with the Admissions Office and we shall send you the first three chapters of The Star of Promise at once, and, from time to time, news from the school: new books, new stories, and things worth reading aloud.

Your place is waiting

Be sorted, and receive your letter

Three small questions, and then a letter with your name on it. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, or kept anywhere but on this device. You may erase it in a click.

First, what shall we call you?

Your first name

Just a first name is plenty. It never leaves this page.

You have been placed in

Elm

The first three chapters

Read the beginning

There are two ways in, on purpose. A grown-up may have the chapters as a beautifully typeset file, sent by email. And anyone may read them here, on this page, at once, asking nobody for anything, because a very great many children are never allowed to download a file, and those children matter most.

Things to print and keep

Every one of these is free, and none of them asks for a thing.

Downloads are never gated at St Elowen’s. A gate is a way of asking for something, and a child cannot be asked.
