  Testing & Interviews

  After registering with us, your child will be invited to complete our assessment tests. The number and type of tests vary depending on the Academic Pathway that your child will join, with more comprehensive testing required for older students. These assessments must be supervised by a third party, such as an educational consultant or a representative from your child’s current school.

  After successful completion of our online assessments, we will invite your child to an interview – either online or in person – with the Head or Deputy Head.

  Applying for a Child student VISA

  For international students requiring a Study Visa (also known as a Child Student Visa or Student Visa), the school will need additional documents, such as a Parental Consent Letter and Financial Evidence, to support the visa application. These documents are necessary for us to issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). Please note that a £100 administration fee for issuing the CAS will be required upon acceptance alongside the acceptance deposit.
