06 / Questions families ask
Before you ask.
My child is moving from a local school to an international school. Can you help?
Yes. We prepare for the English and maths assessments and interview, and bridge the new curriculum. See international school entry.
Singapore's school year starts in January. How does that fit UK entry in September?
Your coordinator maps your child's Singapore school year to the UK year group and works back from the school's registration and test dates. See the application timeline.
When should we start planning a UK university application?
Usually in the year before the final school year. See the UCAS timeline.
Do you guarantee a school place or a university offer?
No. Schools and universities decide admissions. We prepare your child and support the application.
