Age Comparison Chart

The school operates using the British system of years and key stages. Enrolment into a year group depends upon the age of each pupil. Only in exceptional circumstances will enrolment take place into a year group other than the chronological age group and in these instances, approval will be sought from the Ministry of Education before a place is offered.

Online Application Process For Siblings

Parents should apply online using the admissions link on the website. Once a parent ID has been generated this can be used for all siblings so that there is no need to re-enter any family information.

Admission is mainly for the start of the academic year or for the start of each new term. Rolling registration allows for flexibility in the event of a need to start at other points in the term. For Foundation Stage 1, pupils can join immediately after their third birthday if there is space available, provided that they are toilet-trained.
