Application Process

Step by Step Application Guide

Step 1

Fill out a basic form to initiate an enquiry.  We will get back to you.

Step 2
Speak to the Principal

Have a chat to the Principal so that we can understand more about your child and their requirements. 

Step 3

Fill in a more detailed form defining education requirements.

Step 4
Take part in a Taster Session

Prospective students are offered a 30 minute free taster lesson as soon as the Registration Form has been received.  The taster lesson is generally in a subject of the prospective student’s choice and may cover a specific topic if requested by the student.

Step 5
Take Maths and English assessment

Prospective students may be asked to sit Maths and English assessments so that we can assess the student’s ability before allocating the student to group or individual lessons.  Each assessment is about 30 minutes long.

 

Step 6
Have a feedback session with key staff

One of our Senior Management Team will provide feedback to the student after the taster lesson and assessments (if taken) and discuss next steps.

Step 7

Submit a final application form that brings all the previous steps together.

Step 8
Schedule induction and start lessons
All students are inducted on our online learning platform before lessons formally start.  Regular feedback is given and full time students also have a private 20 minute tutorial each week to discuss progress. Please see our Terms and Conditions.

"It always amazes me how quickly everyone starts to learn independently and to be able to communicate their ideas very effectively online. It’s fantastic to see young people learning to express themselves using a broad and mature vocabulary as well as becoming so adept at using the technology."
