German schooling with an international pathway

The school serves ages three to nineteen, from Kinderhaus through senior secondary. Its programme draws on Baden-Württemberg schooling. Senior pupils work towards the German International Abitur and may also take the IB or individual IB courses. German and English academic language matter; families should discuss language readiness and the subject combination for their intended qualification.

Reports and a language questionnaire

Arrange a school tour or open-day visit, then send the completed forms to admissions by email. The school requests the last two reports, birth certificate and any relevant assessments. Kinderhaus and Grades 1–11 use different forms, alongside a language questionnaire. Senior entry has additional academic requirements, so a previous grade alone does not settle placement.

A team spanning school stages

DSL describes a support team bringing together social work, school psychology, safeguarding, special educational needs and learning assistance. It works across early years, primary and secondary. Families can raise learning needs, giftedness, social concerns or stresses affecting school life. Discuss the specific provision available to the child rather than assuming a general support service guarantees admission.

Richmond setting and school buses

The school describes spacious green grounds between Richmond Park and the Thames. Its admissions page lists five bus routes, with exact stops set according to demand at the start of the school year. Ask for the current arrival point, timetable and bus quotation when arranging a visit, especially when coordinating children in different school stages.
