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.
Admission is administered by the Headteacher and follows Board-approved regulations. The school is inclusive and welcomes children from all backgrounds, irrespective of nationality, religion or ability. All applications are treated fairly and sensitively; if the school cannot meet a child's needs or lacks capacity, a place may not be offered. The school may have a limit on the number of places. After initial contact, parents receive information about the school and complete registration, medical, address list, Schulverein and Förderverein forms; if appropriate, the child may spend a day in the classroom. The Headteacher's decision is final on admissions. Children may enter the school at any time of the year, subject to places being available. There is a six-month trial period for both sides. Kindergarten classes are limited to 10 children per adult, while other classes are limited to a maximum of 22 pupils; additional helpers may be employed to assist class teachers at the discretion of the Governing Body.
