Admissions
General Enrolment Procedure
Applications for registration of children at San Anton School are processed on a first-come-first-served basis and are subject to availability of a place within the relevant entry level. Children may be registered after birth, for entry into Pre-Grade (equivalent to KG1) which is the compulsory start of schooling at San Anton School and optional Day Care from 18 months to 3 years.
In cases where full capacity has been reached within the relevant entry level, applicants are placed on a waiting list.
Siblings of registered children have a guaranteed place at the school as long as they are registered by not later than three months from the end of the year in which the siblings were born, as per the Parents Foundation for Education Contribution Rules.
Parents are duty bound to bring to the attention of the Head of Admissions should their child suffer from any condition, learning difficulty or disability of any nature and consequently have any particular needs.
This will help establish how the school can cater for the child’s needs within the reasonable guidance and parameters set by the school. Parents are to agree to collaborate fully and in a timely manner with the School and to follow the professional recommendations regarding their child in their best educational interest and wellbeing.
