We place students in the appropriate year group based on their age, in line with the UK education system. This means children aged five (before the academic year starts) join us in Year 1, children aged six join us in Year 2, and so on. Children enrolling on our Czech bilingual programme are expected to start in Year 1. This is the equivalent of a 'preparatory class' in the Czech system. If your child is joining us from a different educational system, we’ll make a recommendation based on the information you provide, including recent school reports. Decisions are based on what we believe to be in the best interests of each child.
