An overview of the normal application process is:
All students are required to undertake an assessment as part of the admissions process. These assessments are primarily designed to ensure our curriculum is matched to the needs of our student body but can also help us determine the most appropriate year group for applicants from different educational systems. Overseas applicants are asked to sit the assessment on arrival into the country.
You will receive details for the relevant Year Group, including the subjects to be assessed and how this will be done, at the time your child is invited for an assessment.
FS1 and FS2 (KG1 & KG2) students are invited for a brief assessment with a member of the Early Years team who will observe the child to see if they are socially ready for school. We will only accept children who are fully toilet trained as they start school. The child will be given an opportunity to play and interact with the teachers and children. FS2 candidates will be asked to draw a picture and do some simple counting activities. The assessments normally take about 20 to 30 minutes.
Year 1 & 2 students are asked to sit an assessment on a selection of Maths and English related questions and takes about 30 - 40 minutes to complete. Information related to the assessment is available beforehand.
Year 3 to 6 students are asked to sit an assessment, which is split into Reading, Writing and Maths. This takes about 1 hour to complete. Information related to the assessment is available beforehand.
The result of the assessment process will normally be emailed to parents within 48 hours of the assessment date. The result will typically be one of the following:
Where a place is offered, the offer is valid for one week. If it is not accepted within that time the offer lapses so that we can accept the next person of our waiting list.
To accept the offer of a place, parents are required to pay the Registration Fee to guarantee their child's place.
An AWIS Application Form must also fully and accurately completed and submitted before the child can be allowed to commence school.

Relevant information relating to medical complaints including allergies or dietary requirements must be declared, along with any documented special needs. Medical reports and/or educational psychologists' reports must be submitted with the form, if appropriate.
