Admissions & Transfer
|
Overview
As a school, we understand how important it is to communicate in detail our Admissions and Transfer Policy to both existing and prospective parents. However, this does not in any way, take away the power bestowed on the Lead Teacher to take the final decision as far as Admissions and Transfers are concerned.
The school would have loved to give admissions to every learner who shows interest in attending the school. However, due to standard and space, the school would always need to screen learners to know if they are qualified or not for their intending classes.
|
Admissions Procedure
Step 1
|
Prospective candidates are to obtain an Admissions Form from the school. A receipt would be issued as soon as there is evidence of payment for the form.
|
|
Step 2
The form is to be filled and returned to the school. All areas must be filled and genuine reasons must be given for areas that cannot be filled. The intention is to get as much information as possible on the learners. Photocopies of the following are also expected to be submitted:
|
A copy of the student’s birth certificate
|
|
|
Previous academic records, if available
|
|
|
Any other document requested at the point of obtaining the form to help the school understand the prospective learners better
|
|
|
Step 3
Admissions will be processed and, if the candidate is cleared, date and time of Placement Test will be communicated via texts and e-mail.
The candidate will write examinations in the following subjects:
|
|
Literacy/English
|
|
|
Numeracy/Mathematics
|
|
|
General Knowledge
|
|
|
Step 4
If the candidate is successful in the Placement Test, he/she will be invited for interview. At least one parent is expected to be present for this interview. The following will be considered during the interview:
|
|
Ability to communicate effectively in English
|
|
|
Acceptable Behaviour
|
|
|
Adaptability to different situations
|
|
|
Step 5
After the interview, the candidate will be informed of the decision of the school through the Lead Teacher in writing.
|
Enrolment
Completing the admissions process does not, in any way, guarantee enrolment. Enrolment can only be guaranteed after required payment has been made by the parents. After this, the following will be given:
|
|
Welcome Address by the Lead Teacher

|
|
Parents’ Handbook

|
|
Photograph Consent Form
