Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school is a day school; boarding is not offered.
The school uses a uniform. From Pre-Nursery to Year 11, students wear a smart, durable uniform, with a blazer worn and a PE kit on PE days. Uniforms can be purchased online or at the school uniform shop. Sixth Form students do not wear a dedicated uniform but are expected to wear business-like attire.
Lunch is provided in the school cafeteria by Sodexo under a Healthy Eating Policy. The menu includes Western and Asian options and accommodates dietary restrictions and allergies. Packed lunches are not allowed unless approved by the Head of Secondary or Head of Primary & Early Years.
There are four Houses: De, Dao, Li and Qi, each with its own colour and Chinese character. The House Point system rewards positive behaviours and encourages participation, teamwork and leadership.
The school is part of the Nord Anglia Education family.
