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.
STEP ONE (Optional): Campus Visits / Open Mornings / Site Tours.
Prospective parents are welcomed to join an Open Morning.
An in‑depth presentation is delivered by the senior leadership team.
The day includes a campus tour and refreshments with other prospective parents.
STEP TWO – Submit an Application Form.
When you are ready to apply, complete an application form and submit the supporting documents summarized below.
The documents include the child's electronic birth certificate; 10 passport-size photos; copies of both parents' IDs; and the most recent previous school report (applicable for F2 entrants onwards).
The application form is available online through the Admissions area.
STEP THREE – Entry Assessment.
An age-appropriate entry assessment is conducted on campus.
The assessment is arranged after the application form and supporting documents are submitted.
STEP FOUR – Parent Conference.
Attend a parent conference with the admissions team. For convenience, the conference is arranged on the same day as the child's entry assessment.
The conference provides an opportunity to discuss the assessment results and next steps.
STEP FIVE – Admissions Result Shared.
Results of the entry assessment are shared within a maximum of 5 working days after the assessment.
Families are informed of the outcome in writing, and any next steps are explained.
STEP SIX – Secure your child's place.
If both the pupil assessment and the parent conference are successful, the registration fee must be paid within 10 working days to secure a place for the next academic year.
Payment is made directly in school.
STEP SEVEN – Reassessments.
If a child is unsuccessful during the initial entry assessment, they will be invited to a reassessment.
Where appropriate and in the best interests of the child, the reassessment will be led by the learning development team of academic and behavioral specialists to ensure that the child can access the right support at the BSE.
This process is designed to tailor support to the child's needs.
