 Step Two - Entrance Assessment |

English language assessment takes place through our partner Bespoke English Language Testing. Assessment involves an online test and a virtual interview. Feedback will be given following the assessment. Students from within the EU may not need to sit an English language test, depending on the tests they have sat with their agent. We consider this on a case by case basis. Pupils wishing to take A Level Maths or Physics also need to take the School’s maths test. This is taken either in the agent’s offices, a British Council office in the country of residence or at the student’s current school. The final stage of the application is a remote interview with the Head, Rich Jones. English levels required for entryFor pupils aged 11 to 15 (Years 7 to 10) we would expect pupils to be at the equivalent of PET level (B1 Preliminary). For pupils aged 16 and up (Year 12) we require an equivalent level of English to IELTS 5.5. All applications are vetted by shared with our Head of EALto assess what level of support is required. We will assess each case individually and will consider several factors such as attitude to learning when deciding on whether to make the offer of a place. |
