Admissions
Newton British Academy Barwa City admits from the early years through to the sixth form, and applications run through the Newton Group registration process. New families sit an entrance assessment, for which the school charges the 200 QAR test fee noted above, before a registration fee secures the place. Request the current admissions pack, which sets out assessment, documentation and payment terms for the year group you need.
Because places in specific year groups can be limited, register your interest early once you have a relocation date. Ask the admissions office about assessment timing, any English language support, and whether a waiting list applies to the year group you require.
