International Admissions

International Admissions Journey

We pride ourselves on having a truly diverse pupil body and every year welcome children from a variety of countries throughout the world. In many ways the admissions process is similar to that of our UK pupils; we require applicants and their parents to meet our Headteacher either in person or virtually, provide school reports, and a copy of their passport.

In order to cope with the academic and social demands of Westbourne School any prospective pupil must have some English speaking knowledge. This will be assessed by our EAL coordinator via an online appointment. A reference from the child’s current school will then be obtained before offers are issued for acceptance.

Most international students will require a Visa/entry clearance to study at Westbourne School. Therefore prior to applying please check the UK Visas and Immigration website for Visa/entry clearance requirements to study in the UK.

Please note:

• For international pupils the registration fee is £500
• For international pupils studying for two terms or less the deposit is £700
• For international pupils studying at BCS for three terms or more the deposit is £2500
