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.
The school has two admission points: rising 5 in Reception and age 16 in Year 12. In Reception there are 90 places across three language streams: 30 English/French, 30 English/German, 30 English/Spanish. Language preference is collected but does not determine who receives an offer. When applications exceed the published number, offers are made in rank order until a class is full; if a tie occurs, a distance-based tiebreaker using three nodal points is applied. Nodal Point weights are Node 1 50%, Node 2 35%, Node 3 15%. Oversubscription criteria include looked-after or previously looked-after children, siblings who will still be on roll, children of staff, and up to 10% of places in Years 7–11 allocated for aptitude in modern foreign languages (assessed by an independent process). The distance-based tiebreaker measures straight-line distance to one of the three nodal points. There is a right of appeal for unsuccessful applicants. Post-statutory admissions to 16–19 require minimum academic qualifications (at least five GCSE grades 5–9 including Maths and English, with grade 7 for Higher Level courses); entrants may come from Year 11 or from another country and must have sufficient language and English proficiency (CEFR B2) to study in the school's streams; short tests may be applied for entrants from outside the school. Offers follow the usual admission order; if a place is declined, other eligible applicants are considered.
There is no waiting list for the other language class once you accept a place.
Europa School UK is a UK state-funded Free School and IB World School on Culham campus for pupils aged 4 to 18. The curriculum blends Early Years Foundation Stage, British curriculum, and the International Baccalaureate through MYP and DP, with a distinctive multilingual, immersion-based approach. In Primary, every pupil spends half the week in English and half in a stream language (French, German, or Spanish), taught by bilingual staff in an immersion environment. In Secondary, History and Geography are studied in a second language. The Sixth Form offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, free for all students. The campus houses Mediathéque, Language Lab, a Sixth Form Study Centre, and a digital learning space, with an Auditorium and an Art Gallery supporting the arts. Capital developments include a Performance Studio and science-lab upgrades. A programme of after-school activities, language exchanges and Duke of Edinburgh Awards enriches academic life and intercultural understanding.
