Deviation from these groups is considered only when transferring from another education system to ensure continuity or for particular academic reasons; written permission from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports may be required for placements outside the official guidelines. Applications may be accepted for entry at non-standard points depending on availability and the year-group admission criteria. 2.

In Year 7, external candidates should submit their applications at least one week before the entrance examination. 3. Assessment criteria: Early Years 2, 3 and Reception are assessed via an Autumn-term interview with an Early Years staff member, plus activities to profile attainment and aptitude, and a school report from the current school; a selection committee determines offers.

The school welcomes overseas applicants; submission of an up-to-date school report electronically is advised, with remaining documents provided upon arrival; additional assessments may be required for transfers from non-British systems.

The School is inclusive of Children with Special Educational Needs/English as an Additional Language, with appropriate provisions and accommodations arranged as needed; all SEN/EAL/medical needs must be disclosed on the application form. 5.
