How to Apply

Our admissions process and criteria may differ slightly depending on the student’s age and whether they wish to join us for Year 9, GCSE, A Level or Foundation stage.

  • A-level: an interview with the Principal and Head, satisfactory GCSE results, and a satisfactory reference from a previous school.
  • GCSE: a successful interview with the Principal and Head and an academic reference from a previous school.
  • Foundation Course: an interview with the Principal and Head; a portfolio assessed by the Art department. International students will need a minimum 4.0 IELTS score.

Interviews continue all year but an early application is advised to secure a place and to ensure the widest choice of subject options.
