Every school within the Nord Anglia family maintains a dedicated learning support team. This team works directly with parents to identify and address the individual needs of each student, ensuring that every child receives a high-quality education tailored to their specific requirements.

The admissions process is designed to be straightforward, beginning with an initial enquiry via telephone, email, or an online form. Prospective families are encouraged to visit the school, either in person or virtually, to meet the principal and teaching staff. Following the submission of family details and academic records, the admissions and academic teams evaluate the application, which may include an academic assessment, before confirming a place.
