ADMISSION, FEES & FUNDING

ADMISSION TO THE SCHOOL

An interview with both the parents and the pupil is necessary. Application forms are available on request and
must be accompanied by the registration fee. As the co-operation between home and school is fundamental
to a successful education, it is hoped that both mother and father will attend. At the same time the class teacher
will meet the child. Where children come from other schools parents are required to bring previous reports and books.
An interview is also arranged with the school bursar to consider financial questions.
