Aptitude Applications
Fairfax Academy has a strong tradition in promoting the Performing Arts through its Annual Eisteddfod Festival. Students can opt to sit an aptitude assessment for admission to Fairfax Academy. The assessment will test aptitude in The Performing Arts: Dance, Drama or Music.
Applicants who wish to be considered for a place under the aptitude assessment will be required to complete an “Optional Assessment Test – Application Form” and indicate the school as a preference on the on-line application form. This form will be made available at the appropriate time of the school year.
Information about the 2023 Aptitude process will be available in Summer Term 2.
