A school visit is required before enrolment. Families will tour the campus and meet the Academic Leadership and Admissions Teams to learn more about our programmes.
To schedule a visit, please book through our online system: app.annehill.school/appointment
Parents are required to bring their child for the first visit. If this is not possible, please inform our Admissions Team in advance.
Students are placed according to the year level that corresponds to their age. To qualify for a specific year group, students must reach the required age by 1 September of the academic year. Placement guidelines and age tables are provided below.
While age is the main placement criterion, the school may make exceptions on a case-by-case basis in situations such as:
Where needed, the Head of School may request additional information (e.g. previous school reports, teacher recommendations, or a trial day) to determine the most suitable placement. Reports must be original or legally verified copies.
Class placement will only be confirmed when the school is confident that the student’s learning needs can be supported. Factors considered include academic ability, English proficiency, social-emotional development, and other relevant information. The admissions process is carried out fairly and without discrimination.
If there are concerns regarding a student’s learning needs, families may be asked to complete a Student Information Request Form (SIRF) or provide further assessments before a decision is made.
All applicants complete a placement interview with a member of the Academic Leadership Team. Additional assessments vary by age:
Preschool (Early Years)
A play-based, interactive assessment focusing on observations of children’s communication, social interaction, early learning skills, and readiness.
Year 1
An individual school-based assessment and interview reviewing early literacy, numeracy, and developmental readiness.
Year 2 and Above
Students will sit the Cambridge Primary Insights (CPI) adaptive assessment, which evaluates:
English Language Assessment
Students whose first language is not English—or who come from non-English medium schools—will complete an English Proficiency Assessment. Results determine whether the student requires support through the English as an Additional Language (EAL) Programme.
Once a suitable placement is identified, the Admissions Team will confirm class availability.
The Head of School and/or Vice-Principals will review assessment outcomes, placement suitability, and class availability. Decisions may include:
The Head of Admissions will issue either an Offer Letter outlining the admission decision and any enrolment conditions, or a Letter of Non-Acceptance. Families must confirm acceptance via email before proceeding.
Parents will receive a Parent Portal link to upload required information, including:
Student documents
Parent/guardian information
Optional registrations
Parents will also complete the digital Parent Agreement, authorisations and consents, and safeguarding-related acknowledgements.
Enrolment is only confirmed once:
An invoice (including optional services such as bus and ASAs) will be issued once parents confirm their intention to enrol. Payment must be made by the due date stated in the Schedule of Fees.
Before the start date, please ensure the following:
Students may begin school on the date stated in the Letter of Enrolment.
