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.
1. Enquire
Begin the Wellington journey. The Admissions Team guides families through the curriculum, facilities, community and values. Placement is based on your child's age as of 1 September, following the UK National Curriculum, with exceptions possible to support development. See the Year Group Placement Guide for the 2026–2027 academic year to identify the appropriate entry group.
2. Apply
Complete the online application form, upload the required documents and settle the non-refundable application fee. Applications can be submitted online; documents include birth certificate, a recent photograph, school reports (if applicable) and a vaccination record. Indonesian citizens should also provide a national ID card and family card (Kartu Keluarga), while foreign citizens should include a passport, stay permit (KITAS/KITAP) and residence certificate (SKTT).
3. Assessment
Your child will complete age-appropriate assessments to help us understand how they learn best and ensure alignment with Wellington's approach. For Early Years and Junior School, the evaluation is age-appropriate, friendly and play-based and may include a short meeting with your child and our teachers, a simple observation of interaction and communication, and a review of health and development information. This helps us determine placement and supports the admissions decision.
4. Review
Our Admissions Committee carefully considers each application to ensure the best fit for every child and the balance of the school community. They review the assessment results, documents and information provided to understand the applicant's needs and strengths. The aim is to match the applicant with a suitable year group and ensure a positive community dynamic.
5. Decision
Successful applicants receive an Offer Letter confirming placement details and outlining the next steps in joining Wellington. The letter explains any conditions to acceptance and provides guidance on required documents and timelines for enrolment. Acceptance timelines and process for securing a place are also explained.
6. Enrol
Secure the place by returning the signed Place Acceptance Form and paying the enrolment fee to confirm enrolment. The school will provide final confirmation of start dates and any induction activities. This completes the admissions process for the pupil.
