Admissions

Roberta Grima

Registrar & Senior Leader for Promotion and Communication

Thank you for your interest in Chiswick House School and St Martin’s College and for visiting our website

We do hope that you now have a brief overview of our school day and programmes. We know that choosing a school for your child is never an easy decision to take and that you may have some queries or concerns. A member of my team or myself would be more than pleased to meet you to go through any questions you may have and guide you through the Admissions process.

Please do feel free to write to us through the Admissions tab below

Prior to Admission:

1. An introductory meeting is held between the Registrar or a member of the Admissions Team, the parents, and their child/children.

2. Prospective students over the age of 2 years are assessed as follows:

  • Early Years 1 and 2, Levels 1 and 2: A general assessment is conducted by the Head of School or their representative.
  • Levels 3 to 5: Students will sit for an assessment in Mathematics, English, and, for Maltese citizens, Maltese.
  • Levels 6 to 11: Students will visit the school for a comprehensive assessment, including a Cognitive Ability Test (CAT), an interview, and written assessments in Mathematics, English, and Maltese (for Maltese citizens). Additional subjects may be included if deemed necessary by the Admissions Team or the Head of School.

 

The Admissions Team will notify parents/guardians of the school’s decision regarding admission. Please note that the school’s decision is final.
