Admissions
The main intake follows the academic year, with applications reviewed ahead of the start of term and mid year entry where a year group has space. Admission runs through an application, previous school reports and an age appropriate assessment.
Because the Diploma is demanding, sixth form entry considers prior attainment, and the school encourages families to visit to understand the IB approach before applying. Contact the admissions office to confirm availability and any English language support.
