If you are coming from abroad, we will email you an online test to complete before you arrive in the UK. You will also be tested on the first day.

What happens on the first day of school?

You will have an assessment test first. After that you will receive a Welcome Pack and will have an induction on rules, health and safety and a tour around the building.
