AIMS

To consider the appropriateness of the education provided by our school for each individual child. We do not select children on academic ability; but rather on a positive attitude to learning, a desire to do their best.

SPIS admissions policy is designed to make the process of applying to send your child here clear and straightforward. The process usually begins with the request for information regarding the school and is then followed with a visit to SPIS and then, if you want to make a formal application, the completion of all registration forms.

VISITING SPIS

We welcome visitors throughout the academic year. A visit to SPIS allows you and your child to actually experience what the school is all about. Visits are relaxed and involve both meeting with the administration and visiting the classrooms and grounds.

If you then wish to register for entry to SPIS you need to complete a registration form and medical information form. There is a small registration charge which is paid at the point of registration. Once registered your child may start at SPIS on any school contact day at the convenience of staff and parents.

IMPLEMENTATION
