Admissions Policy

Admission, at all levels of the School, is the responsibility of the Deputy Headmaster, in consultation with the Headmaster and the Heads of the various School Departments where appropriate. 

Since the demand for places is normally greater than the number of vacancies which arise each year, particularly in the lower year levels, an early application is recommended, accompanied by the required documentation where appropriate.

Applicants to Saltus will be admitted to available places according to the following criteria, in order of priority:

The school’s professional determination of the ability of the student to benefit from the Saltus curriculum. (While the school seeks to offer learning support for students with occasional or mild learning difficulty, it cannot guarantee to provide facilities for those with more severe learning or behavioural problems);

• Equal access for both boys and girls;
• Siblings of students already enrolled at the school on the date of the applicant’s arrival;
• Children of alumni;
• Date order of receipt of application.

The Headmaster, in seeking to administer this policy fairly, reserves the right on behalf of the Trustees, to take into account such other factors as may from time to time be, in the school’s judgment, in the interests of individual applicants and of the school.
