The admissions process
Admissions start with an initial enquiry to us by telephone, email or by using our online enquiry form. A member of our admissions department, usually the Principal, will quickly reply.
| Places are available for September start in all years, including retake or Year 13. We often have students transfer late to us, after a term elsewhere, because they are not being pushed enough at their current school. To apply for a place in the September 2009 intake, please contact us, download an application form or order a prospectus. |
In response to your initial enquiry, we will send you a printed prospectus and information pack, containing our application form. If distance and time allows, the potential student will be accompanied by his/her parents/guardians for a visit to Bales College, an interview with the Principal and possibly other senior members of staff, and a discussion with various subject teachers.
Entry requirements
Bales Independent School
Entrance to the school is dependent on evidence that the pupil is academically able and has a desire to learn, and positive references from the previous school. In some cases, we will require the pupil to sit an entrance examination so that we can better assess his/her numeracy, literacy and reasoning skills.
Bales Sixth Form
We require a minimum of five grades of C or better at GCSE, or the equivalent overseas qualifications.
Offers to enrol
Further to the visit, a place may be offered once relevant references have been received.
If a visit proves impossible, a telephone discussion between the parents/guardians and the Principal can suffice, provided strong written references are received from previous schools.
Once a place is offered, the application form should be completed and returned together with the enrolment fee of £120 and deposit of £500.
