Online application and a complete file

Southbank describes a non-selective admissions approach and considers applications during the year. Complete the relevant online programme checklist and references and pay the £300 application fee, including VAT. The school aims to decide within five working days of a complete file. Paying the first-term invoice secures an offered place; a waiting list may apply when a grade is full.

Check language and learning provision by campus

Before applying, explain the child’s English level and share any learning assessments with admissions. Ask for the support available in the intended programme, how it fits the timetable and whether it costs extra. The reviewed application and fee pages do not establish a single support package or specialist capacity across every campus and age group.

Choose the correct London site

Westminster facilities include 63–65 Portland Place, W1B 1QR; 17 Conway Street, W1T 6BN; and 377–381 Euston Road, NW1 3AU. These are different buildings, so confirm the daily teaching location before arranging a visit or planning the commute.
