Registration Information

Admission to Year 7 of the British West Indies Collegiate is based primarily on performance in Entrance Examinations. However, while satisfactory performance in the Entrance Examinations is a minimum requirement, preference is given to students who intend to remain at the Collegiate through to Year 13.

Other candidates for the new school year who wish to be considered for entrance to Years 8 to 11 will be required to sit Entrance Tests in Mathematics, English and Science, by prior appointment with the Principal, on another date.

Candidates to the Sixth Form, Years 12 and 13, will be required to attend for interview.

Parents wishing to enrol children for the new school year are urged to download and complete the application forms and return these to the Principal, Mrs Sylvie Wigglesworth, as early as possible.
