Admissions

Admissions
1. Entry points and eligibility: The Junior & Senior School accepts applications for all year groups at any time of the year. Entry points by age (as of 1 September) are Early Years 2 (3 years old), Early Years 3 (4 years old), Reception (5 years old), Year 1 (6 years old), and Year 7 (11/12 years old). Deviation from these groups is considered only when transferring from another education system to ensure continuity or for particular academic reasons; written permission from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth and Sports may be required for placements outside the official guidelines. Applications may be accepted for entry at non-standard points depending on availability and the year-group admission criteria. 2. Application process: The school admits 96 children in each year group with four form groups of maximum 24; Early Years 2 has two form groups of maximum 20 and Early Years 3 has three form groups of maximum 24. Applicants must complete and return the application form with the relevant documentation and the non-refundable registration fee. Due to high demand, early submission is advisable, and families with siblings should apply by June 30th of the preceding academic year (for Early Years and Reception). In Year 7, external candidates should submit their applications at least one week before the entrance examination. 3. Assessment criteria: Early Years 2, 3 and Reception are assessed via an Autumn-term interview with an Early Years staff member, plus activities to profile attainment and aptitude, and a school report from the current school; a selection committee determines offers. Years 1–6 involve individual assessments including an interview and tests in English, Mathematics and non-verbal reasoning, plus a school report and reference. Year 7 external candidates take a computer-based entrance examination (usually held towards the end of March) comprising English Literacy, Quantitative Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning; the examination lasts about two hours. 4. Offers, acceptance, and terms: Offers are made in writing; the school is not obliged to state reasons for rejection or disclose examination marks. Acceptance must be confirmed within two weeks; if fees are not paid by the deadline, the offer may be withdrawn and reoffered to another applicant from the waiting list. The acceptance deposit is non-refundable; deferrals require a written request at least one month before the Autumn term. The school welcomes overseas applicants; submission of an up-to-date school report electronically is advised, with remaining documents provided upon arrival; additional assessments may be required for transfers from non-British systems. Oversubscription leads to a waiting list in order of application date, with priority given to siblings already at the School and other criteria considered as part of the assessment process. The School reserves a place for children of overseas embassy staff until May 1st of the preceding academic year if not claimed earlier. The School is inclusive of Children with Special Educational Needs/English as an Additional Language, with appropriate provisions and accommodations arranged as needed; all SEN/EAL/medical needs must be disclosed on the application form. 5. Additional notes: Applicants' SEN/EAL/medical needs must be disclosed; the School may request resources to meet needs, and if information is not disclosed and later discovered, the School may request withdrawal. Contact the Registrar for further details.

Scholarships
Scholarships are discretionary and awarded to high achieving students as they join the Senior School in Year 7 or later; the programme recognises excellence in music, arts, sport and other extracurricular activities and social engagement through the Sursum Corda for internal candidates, as well as academic excellence through scholarships for internal and external candidates based on ranking from exams. Bursaries are means-tested financial support for eligible families, available to existing students who meet the academic standards for entry and usually awarded for a short period.

Waitlist
If oversubscribed, a waiting list is used in order of date of application to allocate places. Priority is given to applicants with siblings already at the School, and this prioritisation takes into account the assessment status and other criteria. The School may reserve places for overseas embassy staff until May 1 of the preceding academic year if not claimed earlier.
