Admissions process

After an application is received it is reviewed by the primary or secondary principal for the applicant to be put on the wait list if there are no places available.

All reception students will have an assessment prior to being offered a place.

Other Primary year groups will not be assessed unless English level requires assessment.

Secondary Students must sit an AEAS test if English is not their native language. Applicants must score over 80% in this test for their application to be processed to the next level. After passing the AEAS test, applicants may be required to sit an internal English assessment as well.

All Secondary students’ current teachers will also be contacted for a character reference.
