Overseas Students

Guidance for students from overseas

BGS is always pleased to consider applications from students from overseas. Wherever possible, entrance procedures and assessment will be the same as those for UK based students. If it is not possible for applicants to attend BGS for testing, it may be possible for pupils to sit the entrance exams at their present school. The cost of the examination and all courier expenses are to be met by the parent or guardian of the pupil.

If you are considering an application to BGS, please bear in mind the following:

The School can offer some support for English as an additional language but a pupil’s spoken and written English must be good enough to allow them to fully access all aspects of our curriculum. This will be assessed as part of the entrance procedures.

A pupil of any age whose parents would be resident outside the United Kingdom must live with an education guardian in the United Kingdom who has been given legal authority to act on behalf of the parents in all respects.

Pupils seeking entry to BGS should fall within the same age group as others entering their year group. (In exceptional circumstances, students who are slightly older may be considered.)
