Admissions
OpenApply is used to manage the admissions journey. The process begins with submitting an enquiry to gain access to your OpenApply account, which serves as the central hub throughout the journey. A personalised school tour is recommended after creating the account, though a visit is not mandatory for submitting an application. Parents provide copies of the two most recent school reports to help tailor support, though this is not required for the youngest entrants. A trial day is offered to children of all ages to experience a typical school day and participate in some assessed work, and placement testing may follow for secondary applicants to evaluate readiness for IGCSE/IB programmes. When the academic requirements are met and the documentation is complete, a place offer is made and a place is confirmed only after three steps: the full application with documentation is submitted, the €750 application fee is received, and the Head of Admissions issues a place confirmation letter. If a year group is full, a place is offered on a waiting list. Admissions operate year‑round with no fixed deadlines, and there is a strict limit of no more than 20 children per class.
