ADMISSION POLICY & FAQs

• Whether the applicant is of the appropriate age and of sufficient maturity.
• Whether the school is able to provide adequately for any special educational needs the applicant may have following an assessment of the pupil by the Additional Learning Needs Coordinator.
• Whether the school, having made reasonable adjustment, has the capacity to support any disability the applicant may have.
• Whether fees (if applicable) at the present school have been paid.
