When will I know if my child has been accepted?
Once the interview has been completed if they are accepted you will receive an acceptance letter
What does the interview entail or involve?
A combination of written, spoken and comprehension. We will test their level of English to ensure that they are capable of understanding the lessons and that their move to study in Wingate will not be detrimental to their educational development. We also will check the child’s attitude and behaviour and ensure that they will contribute to a positive experience for everyone whilst they are at Wingate. Most students who fail the interview process are due to our staff believing that the child’s level of English would not allow them to follow lessons properly and would negatively impact their progress.
If this is the case, we now have an English Development Programme where students can study intensive English at Wingate, quickly learning the vocabulary necessary to understand the curriculum, and at the same time doing joint classes and activities where they can integrate into the school and get to know their future classmates. Once their English is good enough, and there is space available in their class, they will join the main school. Click here for more info.

What level of English is required to attend Wingate School?
