5. Offer - A place will only be offered for a child when all of the required documents are submitted to the Admissions Department and the Application Fee has been paid.
You will receive a formal offer letter of a place from the school. Each offer of a school place must be accepted within two weeks after which it is automatically withdrawn and may be offered to another family. Upon acceptance, parents must pay a non-refundable Registration Fee to guarantee the place for the student. The acceptance of a school place is not confirmed until the Registration Fee has been paid. Each offer of a school place will include a date for the child to start school. Places cannot be held beyond this date without the payment of the relevant tuition fees.
If we are not able to offer your child a place as our classes are full, we will give you the option of joining a waiting list for the appropriate year group.
Our admissions team will provide advice and support to your family throughout the process.
