Visit Our Campus

Personalised visits offer a thorough understanding of the school's educational approach and extracurricular opportunities, alongside a comprehensive tour of our first-class facilities. During the visit, you will meet with the Head of Primary or Secondary, depending on your child's age, or their respective deputies.

Students applying for Key Stage 2 (age 7) and above will be invited to participate in a Cognitive Ability Test (CAT4). This is followed by a brief interview conducted by the Head of Primary or Secondary, depending on your child's age, or their respective deputies. The interview serves the dual purpose of evaluating English proficiency and gaining deeper insights into the student's abilities.

Upon successful completion of the test and interview stage, and subject to availability, a formal offer will be extended. Once the student and their family accept the offer, we will provide an offer letter with the terms and conditions and request essential documents, such as passports and birth certificates.
