1. Enquiry and Initial Contact: Parents contact the Admissions Office by email or text to receive the most up-to-date information about programmes, curriculum pathways, fee structure, and place availability. At this stage, parents may arrange a school tour to visit the campus, meet staff, and gain a better understanding of the learning environment. The Admissions Office can be reached by email or via WhatsApp for further guidance. 2. Registration Submission: Parents complete and submit the registration form with the required information and supporting documents. These may include previous school reports, identification documents, and any relevant academic records, depending on the pupil's entry level. Submission of an application does not guarantee placement, as admission is subject to assessment and availability. The Admissions Team will acknowledge receipt and outline the next steps. 3. Assessment and Review: Applicants may be required to participate in an age-appropriate assessment or academic review. This process helps the school understand the pupil's current level of learning and determine appropriate placement and support. For Early Years pupils, the process may involve observation and informal interaction rather than formal testing. 4. Interview and Discussion: An interview or discussion with parents and, where appropriate, the pupil may be conducted. This allows the school to clarify expectations, discuss the pupil's needs, and ensure alignment between the family and the school's educational approach. The interview helps finalize placement in conjunction with assessments. 5. Offer of Placement: Following review of the application and assessment results, families will be informed of the outcome. If a place is offered, the Admissions Office will provide details regarding programme placement, fees, and enrolment timelines. 6. Enrolment and Confirmation: To confirm placement, parents complete the enrolment process and settle the required fees within the stated timeline. Once enrolment is confirmed, the school will provide information regarding school readiness, orientation, and the start of the academic programme, and parents may be required to fill in the Admission Form. 7. Ongoing Communication: The Admissions Office maintains open and clear communication throughout the process. Parents are encouraged to contact the school if clarification or additional guidance is required at any stage.
