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. Schedule a school visit. Call the school to arrange a guided tour. Visits are by appointment only—walk-ins are not permitted for security reasons. An official invitation will be sent once the visit is confirmed.
2. Attend the school tour. During your visit, a team member will guide you around the campus, and the management team will be available to discuss the curriculum, school culture, and daily routines.
3. Submit required documents. Parents must complete the application form and submit supporting documents including the child’s recent school reports, medical records, passport or birth certificate, family photos, and any specialist educational assessments, if applicable.
4. Student assessment and observation. If a place is available and initial criteria are met, students will be invited to complete admission testing. This typically includes English, Maths, Science, and an interview; younger children may be assessed in the classroom. A non-refundable application fee is payable on the day of the assessment.
5. Admission decision. Families are notified of the result within 7 days. The decision is based on assessment outcomes and the child’s ability to access the curriculum. Priority is given to applicants with siblings already enrolled.
6. Confirm enrolment. To secure a place, parents must submit all final documentation and pay the required fees for the first term, including the Application Fee, Admission Fee, and other applicable charges. Year group placement follows the student’s age as of the academic year starting in August.
The school does not operate a formal waitlist or pool system.
The school offers scholarships as part of a Primary Launch Promotion, but details such as eligibility criteria, coverage, or application procedures are not publicly disclosed. Parents interested in scholarships are advised to discuss options directly with the admissions team.
