Joining the school

The school publishes a staged admissions process and fee-and-scholarship information. Ask about placement in PYP, MYP or Diploma according to the child’s records. Before accepting a place, confirm the entry year, assessment requirements and application timetable directly with admissions. A visit or enquiry is not a confirmed offer.

Language and learning support

Its educational approach combines enquiry, pupil participation and real-life learning. Specific language and specialist-support provision need confirmation for the chosen class. Discuss the child’s language background and any existing support plan before applying. Ask what help is available in lessons, how progress is reviewed and whether it carries an extra charge.
