Appleford School
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Appleford School is an independent co-educational day and boarding school near Salisbury, set within an eight-acre rural site. Founded in 1988, the school has a Christian ethos and specialises in supporting pupils with dyslexia and associated learning needs. It is divided into three sections: a prep school for pupils aged 7 to 13, a senior school for those aged 13 to 16, and a sixth form where pupils are taught remotely. The school aims to provide a safe, warm and caring environment in which pupils can develop their talents, resilience and self-confidence, enabling them to realise their full potential and live worthwhile and independent lives. Pupils come from a range of backgrounds and most live within a 50-mile radius of the school. All pupils have been identified as having special educational needs and/or disabilities, including learning difficulties associated with dyslexia such as social, emotional and mental health needs. The school focuses its provision on each pupil's individual learning needs rather than identifying pupils as the most able within its population.
