Overseas and International pupils
International pupils follow a slightly different admissions process to UK pupils, which is found further down this page. Below is a simplified 8-step process to a successful overseas and international boarding admission.
1 – Initial Enquiry
After your initial enquiry into boarding at Bethany School we will request certain documentation to proceed to the next stage. These documents include a recent academic report, a copy of the pupil’s passport and birth certificate, and any other background reports for additional needs.
2 – Video Call
After we have received pupil documents, a video call with the Headmaster will be arranged at a time and date to suit you.
3 – Completed registration form, fee and reference
After a successful video call with the Headmaster, we will require a completed registration form along with the relevant fee. A school reference will also be required at this stage.
4 – Entrance Assessments
At this point, the pupil will be required to undertake our entrance assessments. A link to the assessments will be sent by email to either an agent you are with or a contact at the pupil’s current school. Pupils entering Years 7 to 10 will sit an online cognitive ability test (CAT4). The pupil will also be asked to write a creative story to give them the opportunity to show off their creative writing, vocabulary and punctuation skills. Further details about this can be found here. Pupils entering the Sixth Form will sit written papers in Maths, English and the Sciences, depending on which subjects the pupil is looking to study.
5 – Place offered
Upon successful completion of entrance assessments and the registration form, fee and school reference are received by us, the pupil will formally be offered a place at Bethany School.
6 – Contract
After the pupil is offered a place, you will receive a contract which must be completed and returned to us to accept the place.
7 – Initial Invoice
Upon completing and returning the contract an invoice will be issued to you for one term’s fees as deposit, to be paid within 7 days.
8 – Student Visa
At this stage, the pupil must apply for a student visa to study within the UK (if applicable).
UK Pupils
Pupils based within the UK will follow the 11+, 13+ or Sixth Form admissions process. Information about this can be found by clicking on the relevant button below.
