Registration
EIFA welcomes applications for admission from all students, regardless of nationality, religion or gender. Applications are considered throughout the year and visitors are always welcome to make an appointment to receive a private tour of our school.
There are no formal examination requirements at EIFA. However, students are required to demonstrate good academic achievement and ability. We recommend that you apply as soon as possible to ensure availability of places. Where classes are over-subscribed, priority is given to siblings and Westminster residents.
Minimum level of English or French required
Up to Year 8 we accept children who have not yet mastered one of the two languages of instruction, French or English.
Process
Step 1. Applying for a place
Applications will be reviewed and a decision taken regarding acceptance, only when all the documents listed below have been received:
A completed and signed Application Form together with a photograph of the child and a £300 non-refundable Admission Fee.
A complete official transcript of the child’s school record including the results of any standardised testing or other assessments.
A copy of the child’s passport or birth certificate.
Step 2. Decision of the Admission Committee and Registration
Application will be reviewed by our Admission Committee, which deliberates once a week to allocate places. Parents/Legal Guardians will be informed of the outcome of the admissions committee, by email within 3 working days, as to whether they are offered a place or not.
If offered a place, Parents/Legal Guardians will be required to:
Read and sign the EIFA Acceptance Form.
Transfer a £2,000 non-refundable School Entrance Fee.
Once the signed Acceptance Form and Entrance Fee have been received, the registration will be confirmed. This process must be finalised by the deadline in the offer letter, otherwise the school reserves the right to offer the place to another family.
If you have any additional questions on any aspect of the admission process, or if you wish to book an appointment to visit our school, do not hesitate to contact the school’s Registrar: [email protected] | t: +44 20 7637 5351
