Visits, induction and the right application form
New pupils attend an induction day before the main school returns. A school visit or registration of interest does not replace the formal application. Families seeking Forms 2–5 should request the appropriate form directly. The document titled Steps to Enrolling on the admissions page concerns the separate 2026/27 special-class process; its May deadline is not the Form 1 2027/28 deadline.
