Entry evaluation for students
Assessment in secondary is compulsory.
Brief description of entry evaluation required
There is no entrance exam for students with grades EY3-Grade 6. If the student is applying for grade 7 and above the student may be invited to the school for testing for English, Math, or foreign language to make sure of the right placement.
ENGLISH
We ask them to do an age-appropriate piece of academic writing. They have a choice of two titles and must write a properly structured formal essay on the topic of their choice for 60 min
If they are already identified as EAL they will also have a speaking and listening assessment with our EAL teacher.
MATHS
The students are given a maths test covering the topics that have been studied in previous years. This is to understand if there are any gaps in their content or skills that we may have to account for when assigning them a maths class.
Both tests are handwritten to give us an understanding of their thought process and their handwriting.
Waiting list
If classes are already full then all applying students will be put on a waiting list.
Deadline for registration (new academic year)
No deadline, applications are taken all year round.
