Admission Policy
Admission into EYS is based on vacancy. We accept children who will benefit from the school’s academic programme, nurturing environment and contribute to the community spirit. Learners are admitted to the appropriate class in July each year depending on age and the following considerations:
*learners living closest to the school.
*to siblings of children already on the roll.
*exceptional educational, medical, or social needs of the child.
In exercising judgment on this, the admission team will consider the child’s cognitive, physical and linguistic needs. Grade placement for the 2024/25 academic year will follow this structure:
Age | Date of Birth | Class Placement |
2-3 | 1 July 2021 -31 Sept 2022 | EYS 1(creche) |
