Private schools

Private schools (also known as independent schools) are fee paying school that are not dependent on the government. Fees vary from school to school. Admissions Process – Key points

The admissions process is simpler than for state schools and below are the key points to consider;

+ You can apply for a school at any time, even before you arrive if you’d like to + At the time you apply for the school you will have to pay an application fee per children (around £150- £300 each) + Many schools require children to sit an entrance test of have a taster day before finalizing the place. Choosing a school It is important to get as much information as possible about the schools you are interested in by referring to the school’s website and/or a prospectus. Private schools are always keen to invite you to see the school and will take time to answer your questions carefully. The Scottish Council of Independent Schools can help provide guidance and information on private or independent schools in Scotland. http://www.scis.org.uk
