Admissions

Admissions
1. Apply for Admission. Alegra guides and supports you through the next steps. You can access admissions resources and contact the Admissions Team for assistance as you begin the process. New Family and Admissions pathways are available to help you start your inquiry.

2. Personal Interview. An individual meeting at Alegra gives you the opportunity to meet our team and tour the school with a staff member. You can ask all your questions and talk with current students as you explore the school. Visits can be arranged most days during term time by contacting the Admissions Team.

3. Admissions Test. Admissions Tests assess the skills and abilities of your child before starting the English National Curriculum or IB Programme. Tests are arranged by year group (Juniors Year 3–Year 6; Secondary MYP 1–MYP 4; DP 5–DP2). After registration, your child will be invited to an Assessment Day at the school, reports from the current school will be requested, and there is an opportunity to meet the Key Stage Co-ordinator and tour the school. A Trial Day is also part of the process. Documents required include reports from the previous and current academic year, English accreditation certificates, psycho-pedagogical reports if any, and (for international students) a letter of recommendation.

4. Admission & Alegra Insight. After the interview and admissions tests, you will receive an answer from the school, and with an official admission offer you will receive a Letter of Admission. Alegra Insight invites you to introductory sessions about the school's identity; this closes the Admissions Process.
