Before you begin

The three things parents ask us first

When can we apply?
All year round
We enrol on a rolling basis, so there is no single deadline to miss and no waiting for September.
What does it cost to apply?
£220
A one-off, non-refundable admissions fee for full-time homeschooling or a core subject pathway. For a standalone subject, such as the History pre-GCSE programme, it is £50. Tuition is billed separately.
Is the exam a gate?
No
Every child sits one, but it does not affect the outcome of your application. It shows our teachers where to help first.

How it works

From application to first day

Four steps, and then your child is enrolled. We will tell you where you are at every stage.

  1. Step 1 of 4

    Submit your enrolment application

    Click “Enrol now” to reach the online application form. Fill it out, making sure your child's details are completely and accurately filled out. Once we receive your application we will review it, and the outcome will be communicated to you as soon as possible.

  2. Step 2 of 4

    Pay the admissions fee

    Upon submitting your application, you will be prompted to pay the admissions fee: £220 for full-time homeschooling or a core subject pathway, or £50 for a standalone subject. This is a one-off, non-refundable fee.

  3. Step 3 of 4

    Exam

    Every child enrolling with us will be required to sit an exam. This will not impact the outcome of your application; it will help us understand areas of weakness that our specialist teachers will be made aware of once classes are assigned, so that they work on any challenging areas with your child. We believe every child has potential, and we want to help your child reach theirs from the first stages of receiving them into our community.

  4. Step 4 of 4

    School fees and subject selection

    Whilst our core subjects are compulsory, children can choose to take additional subjects if they wish to, and you will be prompted to choose during the application process. A personalised timetable is then created based on your child's chosen subjects, and emailed to you along with further detail on key dates, and an invoice for your tuition fee.

  5. The outcome

    Success

    Once steps 1 to 4 have been completed, you will have officially succeeded in enrolling your child. You will receive further information on how to prepare your child to start their learning journey with us, and how you as a parent can get involved in this journey.

Questions parents ask

Questions about joining

How do we enrol?

Register online in about ten minutes, pay the admissions fee, and your child sits the entry exam. You then choose any optional subjects and we send a personalised timetable. If you would rather talk first, book a free consultation.

Is there an entrance exam?

Every child sits one, but it does not affect the outcome of your application. It shows our teachers where your child needs help first.

Can my child join partway through the year?

Yes. We enrol on a rolling basis, so there is no single deadline to miss and no waiting for September.

Do you offer scholarships?

One full scholarship each year, for a student entering Year 7 whose family could not otherwise afford private homeschooling. Applications open on 1 June and close on 1 July, and it is open to families anywhere in the world.
