We accept admissions throughout the year, depending on availability.

We are very happy to offer information by telephone or email, so please contact our Admissions Team using the contact details below.

Nursery and Reception (EYFS): A member of our Admissions Team will meet with the child along with the parent/guardian either in-person or through a video call to discuss information about the school and the candidate’s educational background. We accept students with all English capabilities in Nursery and Reception. It is expected that these students have the ability to take care of their personal needs, such as using the toilet and washing their hands independently.

Years 1-2 (Key Stage 1): A member of our Admissions Team will meet with the child along with the parent/guardian either in-person or through a video call to discuss information about the school and the candidate’s educational background. Students are assessed on an individual, case-by-case basis, and a basic level of English, Phonics, and Numeracy are required.

Years 3-9 (Key Stage 2 & 3): A member of our Admissions Team will meet with the child along with the parent/guardian either in-person or through a video call to discuss information about the school and the candidate’s educational background. Applicants are required to complete an entrance assessment, which will consist of a standardised Cognitive Ability Test and review of a writing sample.

Years 10-11 (Key Stage 4): IGCSE students will take a standardised Cognitive Ability Test and may be required to take additional written papers based on their IGCSE subject choices. They will also have an interview with the Head of Secondary to outline the students’ goals and motivations.

Years 12-13 (Key Stage 5): For AS/A Level, students must have completed their IGCSE/GCSE exams with a minimum grade of C or higher in all subjects. If certificates are not available at the time of application, mock results will be considered. After submitting the certificates or mock results, students will have an interview with the Head of Secondary.

For IBDP, students are required to complete subject-specific entrance assessments related to their chosen IBDP subject choices.

**Successful admissions for a student in Years 10 to 13 is dependent on the above and on the availability of the desired IGCSE, AS/A Level, and IBDP subjects.

Assessment Fee

Assessments for Year 3 – Year 11 are held at a non-refundable charge of 400 RON.

The Admissions Officer will notify the applicant’s parents of the outcome of the placement assessments via email.

Our school has a department for students with special needs or disabilities, but in some cases, we may not be able to provide the necessary support.

All entry assessments are kept strictly confidential and will not be shared as it would compromise the integrity of the assessment process.

Following Step 2, a short interview will be scheduled with the Head of Year and/or Head of Primary or Head of Secondary, to evaluate their skills and knowledge in relation to the appropriate year group.
The results of both the assessments and interviews will be taken into account when making a decision on whether the school’s entry requirements have been met. If accepted, parents must respond within 48 hours to hold the child’s place.

If admission is granted, parents/guardians will be notified via an emailed acceptance letter. The school will then issue a Registration Fee invoice. In order to retain a place at CSB, the Registration Fee must be paid, and confirmation of payment must be sent to Parent Support within 48 hours of receiving the Registration Fee invoice.

Parents will then complete a second form and upload the following documents on the school’s platform:

• Proof of age: A Birth Certificate or a true certified copy, for Romanian nationals. Birth Certificate translated into English or Romanian, Passport, and Residency Card (permis de sedere) for non-Romanian nationals, if applicable.
• Copy of the Romanian ID for students 14 years of age and older.
• The Identification Document of each Parent/Guardian who signs the contract. For non-Romanian nationals, the passport and residency permit, if applicable.
• If the parents are divorced, the judicial decision related to the guardianship of the student in Romanian or English.
• Immunisation Records or medical attestation of the student’s vaccination records and their dates from his/her doctor.
• Student’s Previous School Transcripts or attestation for all previous years completed.

Please note that an incomplete enrolment application, or the discovery of false or incomplete information may jeopardise a child’s right to be registered at CSB.

Once all required documents have been uploaded, the Tuition Contract will be sent. This contract must be signed within five days of receipt. Upon signing the Tuition Contract, the advance payment invoice will be issued. Proof of payment must be submitted to the school within five days.

Families are welcome to join the school year-round. For those that are joining the following academic year, Admissions will keep you regularly informed through updates and communications. We look forward to welcoming new students into the CSB community and supporting them as they prepare their journey with us.

Prospective students may find themselves on a waiting list, if places within requested year groups are not available at the time of application.

While on the waiting list, families will be contacted regularly to ensure that they are still able to take up a place should one become available.
