It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Inquiry and visit. Families initiate contact with the admissions team and book a visit to view the facilities. The school currently accepts students aged 2-11 (Pre-Nursery to Year 6) and notes that the admissions procedure is straightforward though selective. Pre-entry assessments are required and can be organised either at the school campus or remotely if you are applying from abroad. The school aims to respond to applications within 2 working days of applying.
2. Submit online application. Parents complete the Online Student Application Form for a firm intention to join the school. The form should be completed by parents who have read the Privacy Policy. The page provides the school's address and contact details and links to Book a Visit and Apply for a place. This online application initiates the admissions process.
3. Pre-entry assessment and supporting documents. For applicants applying from overseas, copies of the latest academic transcripts are usually required for children aged 4 or above. Depending on the information provided, the school will reply with three possible outcomes: unconditional admission in exceptional cases; an assessment to sit under a controlled environment; or a conditional admission pending arrival. The school delivers its curriculum in English and expects a high level of written and spoken English, with language support available only to a limited number of students. Typically, a child with no English ability above age 10 will not gain admissions. The school also notes that it is open to receiving students throughout the academic year to aid integration.
4. Admission decision and enrollment. The outcomes may be unconditional admission, unconditional admission based on test results, or conditional admission pending arrival, with an opinion on chances of success provided to parents.
