2. Assessment
Once the complete application is received, the applicant will be scheduled for an assessment. The assessment varies depending on the year group and includes a meeting with the coordinator of the relevant section.
3. Application Review
The school reviews the assessed applications, considering factors such as assessment results, school reports, subject options at IGCSE, English language ability, the child's behavior, and availability of places.

5. Admission
Upon receiving payment or a Letter of Financial Guarantee, the school will communicate the child's start date and provide support with purchasing the school uniform and textbooks. The Admissions Officer or Coordinator will provide details for the first day at school.
