International Admissions

Our main points of entry are 11+, 13+ or 16+.  However we do have a small number of places for girls wishing to join us at 12+ and 14+. 

The first step of the admissions process is to make an initial enquiry. We would request the candidate’s latest school report and a copy of their passport at this point. After the Admissions Team has received the candidate’s school report(s) and confirmed that the school would like to progress the application, you will be asked to register the candidate using our online registration form. We require registration by early September before the year of entry.

Any queries should be directed to Victoria Eastman, Director of International Admissions, at veastman@mayfieldgirls.org

All mainland Chinese applications, whether direct or via an agent in China, will be handled by our Chinese representative in Beijing, Tang Ying, who will liaise with the family/agent.  This does not affect the agreement in place with the agent. 

所有来自中国大陆的申请,无论是直接申请还是通过中介机构申请,都将由我校在北京的中国代表唐颖TY女士负责处理。她将代表学校与家庭/中介联络,进行申请材料审核,考试面试安排及位置确认等一系列工作。这一安排并不影响与代理机构签订的协议。

online registration

The next step is for candidates to sit our entrance assessments which take place between September and November before the year of entry, at a local British Council office or the office of a trusted Educational Agent. Interviews with candidates will be conducted either in person or via Skype/Teams/Zoom after the assessments. Offers are based on performance at assessment and interview, school reports and a reference from the candidate’s current head teacher.

International English

If English is not a student’s first language, they will be required to attend International English lessons. The International English department will continuously assess students to confirm their standard of English remains appropriate for this course of study.
