Acceptance and placement depends upon review of the application papers submitted. All application forms are available here.

The documents to submit for review are: a completed application form, health form, teacher and Principal recommendation forms, copies of the previous school reports from the last two years (as applicable), and the application fee. Following a review of these materials the Head of School informs the parents of the school’s decision.

As spaces are limited early application in January/February is recommended for September entry. However, as we are an international school, applications are accepted year round, and applications made throughout the academic year will be reviewed on an individual basis.
