Admissions policy
Before you apply, please take a look at our entry requirements to check that your child meets them
Here are the ages at entry.
We find that children thrive in their correct class age groups. Our differentiated teaching accommodates students who need support and stretches the more able. We always keep children in their correct age band except when:
-
The child’s birthday falls within a month either side of 1st September (for children joining Reception or above).
-
A student in Yr10 or above is not fluent enough in English to complete the GCSE or IB programme.
|
In these situations, we’ll discus the matter with you before making a decision. Please note that we’re isolated from support services normally available in the UK so we’ll advise you against placing your child with us if we don’t feel able to provide for special emotional, social, academic, physical or behavioural needs.

Class organisation
Where there are two or three classes in a year group, we try to organise the classes so that they are balanced in terms of language experience, nationalities, abilities and gender. If we feel the students will benefit, we may reorganise them at the start of the academic year. We’ll let you know our decision on class groups and teachers in mid-August. Please note that the Principal’s decision is final.
