Admissions Policy

Class Placement

At Anne Hill International School, students are typically placed in year groups according to their date of birth. As such, we look at a child’s age on 31st August to determine which class they qualify for. Students entering Year 1 must have turned 5 by 31st August, whereas students entering Year 2 must have turned 6 by 31st August, and so on. Kindly refer to the tables below for more information.

Please note, however, that the School can only confirm the offer a place once it has been determined that the student’s educational needs can be met by the school and its programmes. As such, a range of other factors are also taken into account. These include a child’s current academic level, English language proficiency, social and emotional development, and any other relevant factors. 

Class Placement Assessments:

  • Children under 5 years old – Where possible, we encourage children to attend 3 ‘trial days’ in the relevant class from 8:00 am to 12:00 midday.
  • Children aged 5-6 years old will meet with the Primary School Principal and undertake a phonics and maths assessment. Other assessments or trial days may be required at the School’s discretion. School reports for the last 2 academic years will also be requested.
  • Children from 6 to 10 years old will meet the Primary School Principal for an informal interview and complete a standardised Maths test. Children with English as an Additional Language will also take an online English Language Use and Listening test, whereas children with English as a first language will complete a standardised reading test. Other assessments or trial days may be required at the School’s discretion. School reports for the last 2 academic years will also be requested.
