Enquiry Form

Working with Education Agents

We value the relationships we build with our education agents and aim to make the admissions process as straightforward as possible.

If you are representing a student, our Admissions team can advise on suitability, availability and the most appropriate entry route before an application is submitted.

We will work with you throughout the admissions journey, from initial enquiry and assessment through to offer, acceptance and preparation for joining RGS Surrey Hills.

Entry and Assessment

Applications are considered individually, taking into account the student’s age, previous education, academic profile and level of English.

The Admissions team will advise on the appropriate assessment and interview process for each candidate. Where appropriate, elements of the admissions process can be completed remotely for students applying from overseas.

English as an Additional Language

Support is available for students for whom English is an additional language. The level of English required will depend on the student’s age, year of entry and proposed academic programme.

Our Admissions team can advise agents on the appropriate requirements for individual candidates before application.

Scholarships

A range of scholarships may be available to students who demonstrate particular talent or potential.

Opportunities include Sport, Music, Art, Dance and the Westgarth Scholarship. Availability, eligibility and application deadlines vary according to the student’s year of entry.

Please speak to our Admissions team before submitting a scholarship application so that we can advise on the appropriate route.

Visas and CAS

International students who require a Child Student visa will be supported through the visa and CAS process.

All CAS and visa applications are managed by Holmes & Partners Ltd and initiated by our Registrar once the signed Acceptance Form and required deposit have been received.

Further information and documentation requirements will be provided to families and their representatives at the appropriate stage of the admissions process.
