Assessment Visit

After registration, prospective pupils are invited to the school for a short visit. They will be given an age appropriate assessment and they will have the opportunity to see whether or not they like the school, and the school has the opportunity to see whether or not the pupil is able to access the curriculum at a level in keeping with the children in the proposed class.

Following this visit the admissions staff will contact you. If the visit is successful, and there is space available, the child will be offered a place. If a place is not currently available the child will be placed on a waiting list until such time as a place becomes available. If we do not offer your child a place at The British Academy of Port of Spain we will seek to provide a full and frank explanation of our reasons. On occasion it is not possible for a child re-locating from abroad to visit the school. In these circumstances the child may be offered a place on the basis of the school reports alone. As with all final admissions decisions, this is entirely at the discretion of the Head.

Enrollment

When your child is offered a place at The British Academy of Port of Spain you will be required to pay a Building fee to hold the place. The British Academy would give parents a thirty day period to make their final decision.

Within the first 2 weeks of each new term, school fees are to be paid.

Arrival

The admissions office will send out a package of information prior to your child's arrival in school. This includes our school calendar, and a variety of forms to be completed. We invite all children, and their parents, to come and meet their new teacher and familiarize themselves with the school in general and their classroom in particular. The staff and existing pupils are keen to welcome our new families and help make your transition as smooth as possible.
