Admissions
The British School Warsaw offers year-round placements for children aged 2.5 to 18, with a simple, fast, and personalised admissions process. We consider the family's application form, previous school reports, year-group availability, and, for older students, academic ability. Applications can be submitted at any time during the year, subject to place availability, and we respond within 24 hours of receiving an application. The Admissions team provides bilingual support in English and Polish. The steps are: make an enquiry; enjoy a guided campus tour; submit an online application (we accept applications all year round, and you'll hear back within 24 hours); placement if suitable; and place secured upon payment of the required fees and deposit. If there is no place available but the child meets entry criteria, we'll offer them a place on the waiting list. Admissions are open and applications are accepted all year round. For assessment and interviews by year group: Early Years – meeting with the Head of the Early Years campus (no formal assessment); Primary (Year 2–6) – interview with Head of Primary/Deputy Head (no formal assessment); Secondary (Year 7–8) – cognitive ability test (CAT4) and interview; Secondary (Year 9–10) – CAT4 and interview (some additional testing may be required); Secondary (Year 12) – CAT4 and interview (language assessment may be required). From Year 4, students may choose between French, German and Spanish. We provide English as an Additional Language (EAL) support and SEN provisions as needed. Polish is an integral part of the curriculum: native Polish students study Polish from Year 2 to Year 11; non-Polish students study Polish as an additional language from Year 1. Polish content aligns with the Polish Ministry of Education. Address: The British School Warsaw, ul. Limanowskiego 15, 02-943 Warsaw, Poland; Early Years Centre: ul. J. Dabrowskiego 84, 02-571 Warsaw, Poland.
