GATEWAY TO PREP SCHOOLS: STREAMLINING THE APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE NATION’S MOST PRESTIGIOUS PREP SCHOOLS
The Gateway to Prep Schools initiative is a common admissions portal overseen by a consortium of member schools which includes many of the best-known and most prestigious college-preparatory schools in the United States. The scheme was launched in 2010, steered by Groton School alongside peer schools including Deerfield Academy, Hotchkiss School, Phillips Academy Andover and St Paul’s School. The consortium has since expanded to include many other nationally renowned independent schools that operate a similar, highly selective admissions process and offers a streamlined application system for prospective pupils.

THE HEADS’ CONFERENCE (HMC)
The Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference (HMC) is the premier association of prestigious private & independent secondary schools in the United Kingdom. It is widely accepted that membership of the HMC is the best means of determining what constitutes a “Public School” in the English tradition. The HMC was established in 1869 when Edward Thring, then head of Uppingham School, invited the heads of a number of peer schools from across the United Kingdom to come together to discuss a number of shared issues and common concerns. The inaugural HMC event was conceived as a direct response to the proposals brought forward following the Clarendon Commission report into public schools – a Royal Commission whose purpose was to explore the status and financing of such schools at a time when much of the public discourse focussed on the future of secondary education and, ultimately, the role of the state in it’s provision.
