At Fyling Hall, they pride ourselves on a personalised and responsive admissions process. The objective is to best understand potential students to ensure that both parties are well suited and that each pupil’s potential can be realised. Generally, the process follows the following steps:
A copy of the prospective student’s school report and a copy of their passport is requested in the first instance.
The school report is reviewed by Deputy Head, Academic and if needed, the Headmaster.
Upon a successful review, an interview with Headmaster is arranged. International students’ interviews are generally conducted via Skype.
If needed, the applying agent is requested to administer entrance exams.
Successful completion results in an offer.
Once the offer is accepted, contracts are issued.
On receipt of the completed documents an acknowledgement letter is sent out. An invoice is raised with the 1st term fees and a £100 registration fee and £400 refundable boarding deposit.
Once funds are received, a Tier 4 Visa (if necessary) can be processed.

Scholarships: These can be awarded where a pupil demonstrates an outstanding ability in one of the following areas: academia, sport, music, drama. A scholarship can also be awarded to a pupil deemed to be an ‘all-rounder’. Scholarships will usually not amount to more than 10% of the fees due. Parents wishing to apply for a scholarship should contact the Headmaster.
Bursaries: Financial support may be available to families unable to afford the full fees. Parents wishing to apply for a bursary should write to the trustees via the headmaster outlining the reasons why financial support is necessary. It is possible, indeed not unusual, for a bursary holder to have a scholarship. In such circumstances, 10% of the fees would be covered by the scholarship.
