Admission Procedure

Before a child may be considered for admission, the school must be provided with the following:

• A completed application form.
• A non-refundable admissions fee of BBD$750.00. This fee ensures the processing of the application for admission of a new student or of a student returning after an absence from The Codrington School of one year or longer.
• All school records for the preceding three years, where the child has been in school for three years, as well as the results of any formal assessments, such as standardised testing results and the findings of any psycho-educational assessments that may have been undertaken by the prospective students. The school operates on the basis of transparency and it is the responsibility of the parents/guardians to bring to the school's attention at this stage all pertinent information relating to the child's prior educational history.

• A birth certificate or passport verifying the child's date of birth and nationality.

All prospective students are screened
for entrance into The Codrington School. A mutually convenient date is arranged. Individual or small group screening is conducted.

In addition, the school will take into consideration the following when determining whether or not to offer a place at the school:

The school reserves the right, at its sole discretion, either to accept or to reject any application for admission. In those cases where an application is rejected, the school is under no obligation to show cause for the non-acceptance of the child concerned.

Children who are accepted for admission are entered into the school immediately if a place is available. An offer of admission must be taken up within seven days by the payment of a non-refundable capital levy, called a building fee, set at between BBD$3,500.00 and BBD$10,000.00 and the payment of a registration fee of BBD$2,000.00. The registration fee is not refundable but it is set against the first term's fees of the incoming student.

The doctor's report and student health record together with the first term's fees must be received before the child attends school. Admission is dependent on there being no undisclosed conditions that might seriously impair the child's learning.

If a place if not immediately available, the incoming student's name is placed on the waiting list for the year level. The school will then offer places to children on the waiting list as they become available. When a place in a year level becomes available, the school selects from the waiting list that child who, in the sole judgment of the school's administration, is the most appropriate child for the place on offer, taking into account all relevant information and the school's desire to maintain a range and balance of children at each year level.

All enquiries should be directed to the admissions office, either by emailing admissions@codrington.edu.bb or by calling the school at +1 246 423 2570. An informal visit to the school may also be arranged.
