Admissions Process for The Olive Tree
Welcome…
A warm welcome to our family orientated school community. We currently have 27 nationalities and around 200 pupils registered with us.
We offer an English education to children aged 3-16 and teach the British National Curriculum in an active, child-centered way.
We teach our children a love of learning through active project work. Our small classes mean highly personalised learning.
We have outstanding GCSE results at age 16, far higher than the UK national average.

Our Admissions Policy
Children are welcome to join us at any time during the year if there are places available in the relevant class. So, please contact us if you are looking for immediate admission.
Please complete the form below and submit it. We will contact you by email within 24 hours to help you with the admissions process.
We are currently fielding admissions enquiries for the school year 2023-24 and for school year 2024-25.
If there are no places currently available in your child’s class, or you are not yet ready to commit to registration, you can sign up to the waiting list (see right). You will then be contacted should a place become available.
Class Sizes
We encourage early applications as places are limited.
● Nursery and Reception (Saplings) maximum 24 children combined
● Year 1 to Year 6 maximum 20 children per class
● Year 7 to Year 11 maximum 20 children per class
Waiting List
Please note that being on the waiting list does not guarantee a place for September 2023. However, it does give you priority as and when places become available.
The fee to join the waiting list is 100€ per child. This is non-refundable. If you subsequently register your child with us, the fee is discounted from the registration fee.
Academic & Language Assessment
We welcome fluent speakers and non-native speakers of English and cater to both.
We consider a child’s age, educational history, and level of English in the admissions process. There is no formal exam or entry test.
Assigning places in March/April 2023
● In March 2023 we ask parents to confirm if their children will continue for 2023-24.
● From 1st April we assign places that become available to children on the waiting list, strictly in chronological order from the date they entered the waiting list.
Your child’s place is only secured once the admissions application form has been completed and the registration fee has been paid.
