Trial day and entry assessment for primary and Interview and entry assessment for Secondary and Sixth Form. Entry into Sixth Form is dependent on results of assessments taken in the previous academic year.

Students who are five years and older should have some previous knowledge of English and they will have a trial day and entrance assessments. Students who are 11 years or older should have a working knowledge of English and they have a personal interview and entry exam. Entrance assessments are cognitive ability tests so are not based around a set curriculum. There is also a written English proficiency test. For students who are unable to reach the levels expected in the English proficiency tests and/or interview, we offer an Intensive English Support programme to access the school. In this case, students receive several hours of English support each day, depending on the need, until they are assessed to have a level of proficiency meaning they can access the curriculum in English.

We understand that families can be transferred at any time of the year so we do accept children during the school year. However, each case will be studied on an individual basis.
