How to Apply

We will be happy to send you our IB Brochure, full details on how to apply and an online Application Form.

We encourage prospective students to contact us with any questions they may have. You might like to look at our Frequently Asked Questions page or review our IB Brochure or Dates and Fees for further information.

1. School reports and Application Form

To begin the application process, please send us the applicant's school reports from the previous two years by email. We will then send you a link to our online application form, which includes a link to pay the £100 Registration Fee.

2. 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 and Pre-IB applicants this will include a Mathematics Placement Test (50 minutes) and an English test (40 minutes). The English test is a comprehension paper which involves analysing text and therefore it will also be taken by applicants who are native English speakers. This is not an entrance examination.

3. 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 by email in an official offer letter which includes an Acceptance Form.

4. Acceptance of the offer

Parents wishing to accept the offer, must complete the Acceptance Form within the deadline given in the offer letter and return by email. When parents accept the offer of a place at St. Clare's they will need to pay an Enrolment Deposit of £2,500.

5. Joining information

Instructions on how to access the joining information are included in the offer letter.

If you have any questions or if you require any further information about the application procedure please contact Chris Osbourn.
