1. Enquiry and campus tour. Admission is open year round subject to space. The enquiry form can be filled online or during a walk-in visit, and a school tour can be booked to view the campus and facilities. The school welcomes students of all nationalities, including those who study English as an Additional Language, those with special needs, and those who are gifted and talented.

2. Vacancy contact and next steps. The school will contact you if a vacancy is available and schedule the next steps. Priority is given to siblings who are students of the school. The placement processes are in line with regulatory requirements.

3. Foundation Stage assessment. Placement processes follow regulatory requirements. The Foundation Stage evaluation considers the child's learning needs and registration requirements; children are not assessed for specific academic abilities, but may meet with teaching staff in small interactive sessions to ascertain independence from parents, ability to converse with adults, and ability to follow simple instructions. FS1 children must be toilet trained.

4. Key Stage admissions and required documents. Admission for Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) is based on the age requirement and registration fulfillment. Baseline placement assessments may be conducted to plan the level of support required, with local applicants assessed at the school and online assessments available for applicants outside the UAE where applicable. For Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6), admission follows age requirements and registration fulfillment, with similar baseline assessments as needed. Documents for submission include passport and residence visa (where applicable) with UID, birth certificate, four recent photos, vaccination card, Emirates ID (where applicable), transfer certificate, and school reports; specialist reports may be requested. Inclusion admissions cover EAL, Students of Determination, and Gifted and Talented, with KHDA guidance followed.

5. Inclusion and support. Assessments for inclusion admissions are designed for EAL students, Students of Determination, and the Gifted and Talented; parents provide copies of medical, psychological, or educational assessments to enable best services. KHDA guidance and procedures are followed for all inclusion considerations.

The school operates a waiting system in case of no immediate vacancy. When a place becomes available, families are contacted to offer placement.
