Older students are tested individually to assess their English, Maths and Arabic; you will then be called with the interview date and time with the School Director. 3. If a place is awarded, you will be asked to pay the first installment of the school fees to ensure the place for the new academic year. This payment confirms the intention to enroll. When the required payment has been established, you have joined our Elwy Schools Family. 4.
