English as an Additional Language / Special Educational Needs

English as an Additional Language

If your child does not have English as their first language they may also have a short interview (either in person and/or by Sonru) with an English language specialist or an assigned person from the Learning Support Unit to assess that their level of English is adequate to access the school curriculum. Depending on the students’ age, a piece of unaided writing may also be requested. Students who are accepted but require specialist English language support will be offered a full place at the school on the condition that they join an EAL (English as an Additional Language) programme and with this support, achieve a sufficient level of fluency over time. Additional fees are charged for EAL support.

Special Educational Needs

Students with known special educational needs and/or behavioural issues are considered on a case by case basis. Parents of such children are required to provide the school with detailed information and records to assist in the process. You are also strongly advised to discuss possible application prior to making a formal application to ensure that the school is in a position to meet the needs of your child.
