1. Decide your admission path for Primary 1. Maryknoll Convent School (Primary Section) uses two main entry routes: Central Allocation (EDB) and Special Admission (school-based). For Central Allocation in 2026, the Education Bureau will inform eligible families in mid‑January 2026 to make school choices via the POA e-platform, and those bound to their ePlatform account with iAM Smart+ may submit the Choice of Schools Form electronically. Special Admission is a separate route; details are published on the school site in mid‑May each year.
The school's Primary One process operates through Central Allocation (EDB) and a School-based Special Admission route, followed by a Discretionary Places (DP) process handled by the school. The Education Bureau central allocation allocates places “as far as possible” based on parental choice, and the school publishes DP results as part of its allocation process.

They collaborate with teachers and parents to support students facing academic, social or emotional challenges and to foster personal growth. Students are encouraged to chat with the social workers if they feel troubled, and topics related to personal growth are explored. The social workers' offices are on 2/F Room 213 and 5/F Room 512A, with contact via the Caritas Office on 2523 0060 on scheduled days. This arrangement reflects the school's commitment to SEL and student wellbeing.

These provisions demonstrate structured language-support measures as part of the school's curriculum and transition processes.
The School Social Work Service provides mental wellbeing support through individual counselling and diversified programmes. The service aims to facilitate students' growth and development via counselling and personal-growth activities, and it works in collaboration with teachers and parents to support students facing challenges.

The social workers' offices (2/F Room 213 and 5/F Room 512A) offer accessible support on regular days, with contact through the Caritas Office at 2523 0060. This framework underpins the school's emphasis on mental wellbeing within its broader SEL approach.
Safeguarding and child protection are supported through the School Social Work Service, with two social workers providing counselling and welfare programmes and working with teachers and parents to safeguard student welfare. The school also engages in safeguarding-oriented education, including National Security Education Day 2025 to promote safeguarding of national security. Orientation programmes for incoming students and the Big Sister Scheme provide additional safeguarding-related support by helping students adjust and connect with mentors. Public information shows these safeguarding-related activities and services are in place as part of the school's welfare and protection framework.
1. The school operates as a Direct Subsidy Scheme (DSS) school and does not participate in the Education Bureau's Central Allocation Scheme. Applications for Form One are invited from across Hong Kong and beyond, rather than being limited to a central queue. The school also makes clear that fee remission is available to all enrolled students, with the remission level determined by a Reckoner-based scoring system and by a Self-Assessment Platform that applicants can use to gauge eligibility.
2. The Form One admission process is conducted via online applications for Form One Places. The school details a merit-based selection path that includes multiple interview stages; in recent cycles, short-listed candidates proceed to a second interview after the first interview. When the 2025–2026 cycle was active, the page indicated that the application for Form One Places had closed and provided a route to the second-interview process for shortlisted candidates.
3. First-round interviews are part of the process. Shortlisted applicants are invited to attend the first interview, and successful candidates are then moved to the second-interview stage. In the published materials, candidates were instructed to bring the First Interview Form and to collect the Second Interview Form at the school reception before proceeding to the second interview.
4. The second interview is scheduled for a specific date (for example, March 15, 2025 in one cycle). Shortlisted candidates' numbers appear on a published list, and those not on the list may be considered unsuccessful. If a candidate's number is on the second-interview list, the family proceeds with the interview at the school at the arranged time.
5. Outcome notification follows the second interview. The published materials show a named list of applicants for the second interview and indicate that those not listed may be deemed unsuccessful. Successful candidates typically move toward the final offer and related enrollment steps, which are coordinated by the school's admissions team and can involve campus tours or informational sessions.
6. Fees and financial support are an explicit part of admissions. All students are eligible to apply for fee remission, with remission levels expressed as a percentage of the school fee based on a Reckoner scoring system. There is a dedicated Self-Assessment Platform to determine eligibility, and the principal can adjust remission levels in consultation with the Fee Remission / Scholarship Team.
Scholarships and financial assistance are an established part of the school's admissions ecosystem. Academic scholarships are available to all enrolled students and do not require a separate application; the school's scholarship team reviews academic performance to determine allocations. Non-academic scholarships require nominations from teachers-in-charge of extracurricular activities or functional groups and the nominees submit a portfolio for assessment. The school also notes that scholarship payments can be disbursed in two equal installments and that the policy is updated periodically, with the latest documented revision in mid-2025. The school also maintains a Fee Remission Scheme, with eligibility determined via a self-assessment platform and a Reckoner-based scoring system; maintenance allowances may be provided in hardship cases. In 2024–2025 the school reported that it allocates a portion of tuition revenue to both fee remission and scholarship programs, with the aim of supporting up to a substantial share of students.

The Whampoa campus is at Laguna Verde Avenue, Laguna Verde, Whampoa Hung Hom. The Tai Wai campus is at No.1 Lung Pak Street, Tai Wai, Shatin, New Territories, and the SBKY campus is at Castle Peak Road, Mai Po, Yuen Long.
The school offers early-years provision at Kowloon Tong and Whampoa (Anfield International Kindergarten and Nursery) and primary provision at Tai Wai (Anfield School) and SBKY (Anfield St. Bosco Koon Ying School). This structure covers the full progression from early years to primary within the Anfield group.
Anfield is a co-educational Catholic day school. The SBKY campus explicitly serves SEND pupils in a Catholic, inclusive setting.
SEN provisions include a dedicated SENCO, who works at the Whampoa campus two days a week; an Inclusion Coordinator; 1:1 or small-group support via a Bosco Bears class; on-site Preschool Rehabilitation Services (OPRS) in partnership with NGOs; and on-site speech and language/occupational therapy through external providers.
The curriculum is British-based, following the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and English National Curriculum influences; the school presents itself as a British-style international school in Hong Kong.
Catholic ethos and values underpin the school community.
The school day runs from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday to Friday. Snack and lunch arrangements vary by stage: kindergarten/nursery receive on-site snacks; primary students bring their own snacks and lunches are brought by parents for full-day attendance.
A school bus service is available for the Kowloon Tong campus (routes depend on parent requests and do not cover Hong Kong Island); the service is arranged with external providers and is independent of Anfield. There is also a bus option to Tai Wai (routes set by parents) and a bus option to SBKY (Yuen Long) leveraging SBKY staff on board to assist children. All travel arrangements require adult supervision for drop-offs/pickups.
Anfield International School does not offer boarding. There is a school bus service for the campuses, with routes arranged by parent requests and not covering Hong Kong Island. In kindergarten, there is a mandatory busing policy: all students are expected to use the school bus or safe public transport, and all children must be accompanied by an adult to and from school.
Uniforms are required for all Anfield pupils and include the Anfield uniform, a school sunhat, and an Anfield school bag. Items should be clearly labelled with the child's name, and jewellery is not allowed for safety reasons. Uniforms can be purchased by sending an order form and cheque to the Administration office or by visiting in person; cheques should be made payable to Timeless Workshop Ltd.
Kindergarten and Nursery students are provided with healthy snacks each day, while Primary students bring their own snack. Lunch is not catered on site; full-day students must provide lunch, and there are no on-site catering facilities. Mealtimes are conducted in a comfortable setting with staff support.
Anfield School uses a four-house system: Faith, Hope, Love and Charity. Houses compete across academics, sports, drama, and community activities, with house points awarded by staff and displayed during celebrations; term trophies are awarded to the winning house. Year 6 students elect House Captains and Vice Captains to lead their houses.
The Anfield School Board governs the four campuses, with board members acting in the best interests of the schools and not managing day-to-day affairs except for non-educational matters. Shui Wah Education Institute Limited is the official governing body that holds the registration of Anfield International Kindergarten, Anfield International Nursery, and Anfield School with the Education Bureau.
The school follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, serving children from two years and eight months through Kindergarten 3. Instruction is primarily in English, complemented by daily lessons in Chinese Studies (Putonghua), Physical Education, and Music to ensure a broad educational foundation. The programme integrates play-based learning with structured schemes such as Jolly Phonics and White Rose Maths to develop core literacy and numeracy skills. Students attend either half-day or full-day sessions, with a low student-to-teacher ratio of 1:10 to support individual progress. This framework is designed to prepare students for successful transition into either local or international primary school systems.
SEL is embedded within Anfield's values-based education. The Our Ethos page describes learning as a values-based, caring community that promotes respect, self-motivation, resilience and social responsibility in a safe and inclusive environment. Social-emotional learning is explicitly supported through dedicated SEL activities and peer-support opportunities across campuses. The ethos highlights nurturing relationships, collaboration and empathy as daily practice to support social and emotional development. The aim is for students to develop self-confidence, positive relationships and resilience in learning and life.
Anfield describes its Whampoa campus as an inclusive school that welcomes children with varying levels of need and provides differentiated services to scaffold learning. A Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) works at the Whampoa campus two days per week to support learning and advise staff, including working with individuals or small groups in a push-in/pull-out model. An Inclusion Coordinator also works two days per week to support the learning of all students and provide strategies to teachers. For students needing extra support, 1:1 or 1:2 shadow support is available, delivered by teaching assistants in collaboration with the class teacher. On-site Preschool Rehabilitation Services (OPRS) provide on-site speech and language therapy and occupational therapy through partnering NGOs. The school is described as inclusive rather than a specialist SEN institution.
The Language Centre provides development of English and Mandarin; classes are available for students aged 3-6 years and are held at the Kowloon Tong and Whampoa campuses. This indicates formal language support as part of the school's early years provision. At the primary level, English is prioritised as the language of instruction, with a strong emphasis on Putonghua Chinese as well. These elements show that English language development and EAL-style support are part of Anfield's programme.
Mental wellbeing is supported through the school's emphasis on social-emotional learning within its values-based approach. The Ethos highlights nurturing, empathy, respect, collaboration and peer support as core elements of everyday learning, contributing to students' wellbeing. The goals and learning framework stress resilience, self-motivation and personal growth, reinforcing mental wellbeing as part of academic and personal development. The explicit reference to dedicated SEL activities confirms a structured approach to students' emotional and social health.
Safeguarding is positioned as a top priority, with a commitment to keeping children safe from harm and promoting their welfare. The policy states that the welfare of the child is paramount and that staff and volunteers understand their safeguarding roles, receive appropriate training, and respond to concerns in accordance with procedures. Responsibilities for safeguarding are shared across staff, with specific leaders taking the lead and ongoing actions to protect students across campuses. Robust safeguarding arrangements and procedures are in operation at all times.
1. Initiate contact and arrange a campus visit. Prospective parents are invited to arrange an individual visit to the School or attend an Open Day to get a real sense of the environment and meet key staff. This step helps families understand the school's ethos, class structure, and whether the setting suits their child.
2. Submit the online application and pay the application fee. Parents complete the application form online and pay a non-refundable application fee of HK$1,000 if their child is not already enrolled in Anfield International Kindergarten. The application fee does not guarantee a place. Admission is at the Head of School's discretion.
3. Attend the entry interview/assessment. Candidates for Year 1 are invited to attend an interview (individually or in small groups, typically starting in November for August entry). Year 1 entry is scheduled for August, while applications for other years may involve assessment and/or interviews throughout the year. For applicants with SEN or where SEN is considered, an individual screening may be used and additional documentation may be reviewed.
4. Understand selection and oversubscription criteria. If the School is oversubscribed after the entry assessment, priority is given to: native English speakers; children attending Anfield International Kindergarten; siblings of current Anfield students; a parent's full-time employment with Anfield; and the date of receipt of a complete application. The School states that no child will be treated unfavorably on grounds of race, nationality, gender, religion, disability, or socio-economic status.
5. Receive an offer and complete registration. If a place is offered, admission is subject to the Head of School's decision and a closing date for acceptance will be provided. To confirm entry, parents must submit a signed Acceptance Form and pay the non-refundable Registration Fee and the Tuition Deposit immediately. The Registration Fee is credited toward the first term's fees, and the Tuition Deposit is credited toward the last term's fees. Both are non-refundable if the place is not taken up.
6. Finalize entry requirements and onboarding. Upon acceptance, it is required that the child be in the appropriate age band for Year entry and, where applicable, provide documentation related to identity (Hong Kong ID or passport with residency status). If English is not the child's first language, the School notes that English as an Additional Language (EAL) support may be provided at additional cost to parents. Confirmation of entry includes completing the process and timely notice if withdrawing.
There is no scholarships program described in the current admissions materials for Anfield School.
