It is not possible to apply for the International Baccalaureate Diploma course online as we believe a more personal approach is important.
You need to make a complete application. We will be happy to send you a prospectus, full details on how to apply and an Application Form. The guide below gives you an idea of the application procedure.
We encourage prospective students to contact us with any questions they may have. You might find your question in our FAQ page.
1. Initial enquiry
The applicant and/or their family approach the Admissions Registrar to make an initial enquiry about St. Clare's and the International Baccalaureate Diploma.

2. Prospectus and Application Form
Application information includes the following:
- IB Prospectus
- IB Diploma Guide
- IB Application Form
- Dates and Fees
The completed Application Form is returned to the Admissions Registrar along with school reports from the previous two years. These can be sent by email or post.
3. Visit to the College and interview
When we have received all of the above, we will assess the applicant's school reports. If these are satisfactory, we will invite the applicant and their parents to visit St. Clare's for a tour and an interview. For IB Diploma applicants this will include a Mathematics Placement Test. This is not an entrance examination.
4. Offer of a place
We are normally able to tell the applicant and their parents our final decision on their application at the end of the visit. If the interview is satisfactory we will offer the applicant a place at St. Clare's and this will be confirmed in an official offer letter which includes an Acceptance Form.
5. Acceptance of the offer
Parents wishing to accept the offer, must complete the Acceptance Form within the deadline given in the offer letter. When parents accept the offer of a place at St. Clare's they will need to pay an Enrolment Deposit of £2,500.
6. Joining information
Instructions on how to access the joining information are included in the offer letter.
