Application Process

Step 1 – Place availability check and application

We will check that there are places available on your chosen course. We will then invite you to apply for a possible place at one of our schools by completing our online application form here.

Step 2 – Entry requirements check

We will then ensure that you have the necessary English language and academic entry requirements for the course you wish to study.
This will be done by way of interview with the Head Teacher of the school to which you are applying. For entry at 7+ and above, a written English and mathematics test will need to be completed as part of the admissions process.

To qualify for the A-Level programme you will need to have:

• IELTS 5.0
• Possess good high school graduate grades
• Be repeating the A Level course

Students enrolled at our schools are accepted on the strict understanding that progress will be reviewed at key stages, including the end of the first term. The school reserves the right to require a longer, or change, of course in light of that review.

Step 3 – Offer and acceptance of a place

An offer of a place will be sent to you (and your agent if applicable) outlining the next steps.

Please note, for students that are non-UK/non-EU nationals, an additional deposit will be required to secure your place at the school.

If you have received a ‘conditional offer,’ this means you have a place on a course providing you meet certain conditions such as passing English language/academic tests and providing evidence of visa status. Once you have passed these criteria your offer will become ‘unconditional’.

Tier 4 Applicants

Step 1-3 – International Admissions Process

We require all applicants wishing to be sponsored on a Tier 4 visa to complete steps 1-3 of the admissions process as outlined above.

Step 4 – Conditional/Unconditional Offers

If applying for a Tier 4 visa, you will need to hold an unconditional offer to apply for a visa; however, you can confirm your place at the conditional offer stage. If you have confirmed your place but fail to pass the required criteria, we can refund your deposit or defer your place*.

* Terms and conditions apply.

Step 5 – Pay tuition fee instalment

Schools within the UK operate with three terms each academic year. To secure a place at the school, along with the deposit amount, you will be required to pay a full year’s fees in advance of applying for your visa.

Step 6 – Receiving a CAS number

Upon receiving the deposit and tuition fee amount, we will then be able to issue you with a CAS number which you will need when applying for your visa to study in the UK. Click here for advice on the visa process.
