It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Submit an application and supporting documents. Required documents include the completed application form, a copy of the student’s passport or birth certificate, two recent school reports, and any additional reports (e.g. medical or psychological if applicable). Application fee is also required at this stage.
2. Undergo age-appropriate assessment.
Early Years (Pre-Nursery to Reception): Children attend a short taster session in class.
Primary (Years 1–6): Children complete age-appropriate academic assessments and attend a class session.
Secondary (Years 7–11): Students take cognitive ability and English language tests, and may be invited for interviews with academic heads.
Sixth Form (Years 12–13): Students must submit academic records and take English proficiency and cognitive tests. An interview is also part of the process.
