Admissions
Transition from City Campus to Riverside
All students who successfully complete Year 6 at City Campus will automatically be allocated a Year 7 place at Riverside; no additional Guaranteed Place Fee will be charged. The refundable deposit previously paid at City Campus will be transferred to their Riverside account.
Barring the exception described in the next sub-section, in all other circumstances transfer between campuses will not be accommodated automatically, and in order to do so, the family must withdraw their place at the current campus and re-apply to join the alternate campus. A new application fee will be charged. Should the new application be successful, a new Guaranteed Place Fee, Refundable Deposit and pro-rata fee payment for the current/next term will be payable in order to accept the place at the alternate campus. (Note: The existing Refundable Deposit held by the current campus will be returned to the family, provided that at written notice of withdrawal is given to the school at least 60 school term days before the withdrawal date).
Exception for sibling transfers from City Campus
Families of students transitioning from the end of Year 6 at City Campus to Year 7 at Riverside may also request to transfer a younger sibling from City Campus to Riverside for the same start date without needing to re-apply at Riverside. Transfer requests must be made by the end of term 1 in the academic year preceding the intended start date.
Where to transfer is approved:
- The Guaranteed Place Fee at Riverside will be waived;
- The Refundable Deposit paid at City Campus will be moved to the student’s account at Riverside
Sibling Policy
Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate siblings, entry to Shrewsbury Bangkok Riverside is by academic selection and place availability assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Points of Progress
Shrewsbury International School Bangkok pledges to adopt best practice in its admissions procedures and ensures careful, precise and fair selectivity at all stages of entry. The admissions process and policy is designed to be rigorous, transparent and consistent in its application. Typically, students progress from admission to graduation. However, progression through the School cannot always be guaranteed
At key points, careful assessments are made in order to assess students’ suitability to proceed. Such assessments will take into account academic, social, behavioural and special educational needs reports, and a decision will be made (in consultation with parents) as to whether it is appropriate for a child to continue their education at Shrewsbury.
