The admissions process starts with our warm and welcoming admissions team, who will guide you through the application stages.

• Get in touch with us using our enquiry form – we’ll register your interest, answer any questions, and kickstart your admissions journey.
• Come and see the school in person, sign up for a virtual discovery tour, or join an online open day. We'll arrange this for you.
• Submit your child’s online application form, including supporting documents. We accept applications all year round.

• If everyone’s happy, we'll confirm your child's place and send you a contract.

We place students in the appropriate year group according to their age, which is the same as the UK system. This means that children aged five (before the academic year starts) join us in Year 1, children aged six join us in Year 2, and so on.

Children enrolling on our Czech bilingual programme are expected to start in Year 1. This is the equivalent of a 'preparatory class' in the Czech system.

If your child is joining us from a different educational system, we’ll make a recommendation based on the information you provide, including recent school reports. Decisions are based on what we believe to be in the best interests of each child.

We’re committed to academic excellence and personalised learning, which is why our students follow a structured blend of British and international curricula. This includes Cambridge IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), which provide respected pathways to outstanding higher education across the globe.

The fees you'll pay will cover not only your child's academic tuition, but also many core elements of school life. These include exciting global learning experiences through Nord Anglia Education, such as our pioneering collaborations with MIT, The Juilliard School, and UNICEF, as well as many of our extra-curricular activities. These will enrich your child’s education, both in and beyond the classroom.
