Importance of Full Disclosure

It is essential that full disclosure be made at the time of application. It is particularly important that complete and accurate information be provided regarding:

• any learning support or special needs of your child; and
• health issues

Supporting Documents

For all applicants:

• copy of birth certificate 
• copy of passport
• an official copy of the last two school reports (which much include the latest end of year report) and any standardised test results
• copies of any specialist reports relating to learning abilities, such as an educational psychologist’s report
• application fee or fees 

Submitting the Application Form

Application forms can be submitted in person, by post or electronically. If submitted electronically, the original form must follow within 14 days.

Placement upon the Waiting List

Upon receipt of a completed Application Form and the required documentation (see above), the applicant’s name will be placed on the class/waiting list. An applicant will not be considered for a place until the application is complete. Applications will only be considered complete when all supporting documentation has been received.

3. Admissions evaluation and assessment

Following submission of an application, you will receive an email acknowledgement from us. You should feel free to contact us at any time regarding your application. 

Tests and Assessments

All applications are reviewed by the Head of School to determine whether the entrance criteria for the class applied for will be met at the point of admission. The Head’s decision with respect to whether the criteria will be met, is final.

If assessment or testing is required, we will contact you to make the arrangements. 

4. Notification of application outcome - offers and unsuccessful applicants

Successful applicants

Successful applicants will be contacted, in the first instance by phone and then by email to advise that a place is available and to begin the formal process. If we are not able to make contact after several attempts, the place may be offered to another applicant. It is therefore vital that you keep us informed of any changes to your contact details. 

Unsuccessful applicants

If your application is unsuccessful, we will advise you as soon as we are aware of the outcome of our assessment of your application. We will do our best to provide meaningful feedback on the application and the reasons it was not successful.
