Families apply from all over the world to access the classic English education of The Pilgrims’ School.  We welcome the school’s diversity – it advantages everyone.

All boys joining the school must be appropriately fluent in both written and spoken English. Our teaching is fast-paced and conducted in English (with the exception of French), with a strong emphasis on written work. Older candidates may be required to submit a UKiset profile and samples of work before being invited for an assessment. We may suggest a Zoom interview, but candidates will still be required to attend a taster day with further assessments at the school, at which point they may meet with our EAL specialist.

We are able to support a limited number of Tier 4 visa applications for boys joining Year 4 and above only.
