The Winstedt School

Leading Bespoke, Inclusive, and Holistic Education for Diverse Learners

Application & Enrolment Process

Admission to The Winstedt School is determined through a thoughtful application process that ensures a good fit for both your child and our international school community. 

We believe that it’s important for the School to get to know each applicant as an individual, not as just a collection of documents. Our unique Class Trial process reassures prospective families that Winstedt has the resources in place to support their child’s academic success before any fees are charged. As such, the Winstedt School does not charge any application fees. Enrolment and tuition fees are only due when a formal placement has been offered and accepted. 

Our academic year runs from August to June. However, Winstedt offers rolling enrolment throughout the year, pending availability in the class. 

Our learning approach for our mainstream curriculum was developed for students with an average IQ or above and does not cater to students with primary emotional or behavioural difficulties.

Step A: Register Online

Begin by setting up your child’s account on our application platform OpenApply. 

Step B: Document Submission

The online application platform will guide you through how to upload the required documents which include: 

-Student’s birth certificate

-Student’s immunisation records

-Digital headshot photo of the student

-Student’s passport and Singapore identity card

-Parent’s passports and Singapore identity cards

-Past two years school reports

If applicable:

-Most recent Educational Psychological assessment: the report must include results from the WISC-IV or V cognitive assessment as well as achievement scores. The report should be dated within the last 24 months. 

-Recent Therapy assessments/evaluations. These reports should be dated within the past 18 months. 

Based on your child’s application, the Admissions Committee will determine if your child is invited for a three-day class trial. The trial is a key part of our admissions process. It gives your child a chance to experience our vibrant, inclusive community, and allows us to better understand how to support their learning and wellbeing.

The School collects a Trial Deposit before a Class Trial session is arranged. Visit our Fee Structure page for more details. 

In some situations, the trial can be waived based on the application documents. In these situations, the student is offered a placement with us, and a detailed review is conducted by the student’s Team for any adjustments/changes that may be needed at the end of the first enrolled term. 

Following the class trial, a member of the Admissions team will call the parents to discuss the observations and feedback from the trial, as well as the child’s suitability for the School. 

If admitted, the School will send parents a formal Placement Letter outlining the details and any conditions of placement, along with information regarding the next steps in the admissions process. 

If it is determined that Winstedt does not have the necessary resources to support the student, every effort will be made to refer the parents to possible alternatives. 

Note on Student Applications

If information relevant to the extent of the applicant’s educational, emotional, social, or health needs has not been disclosed to the School by the date of admission, the School reserves the right to withdraw the child, based on the School’s assessment (in its sole discretion) that the School is unable to meet the child’s needs. 

The Winstedt School reserves the right to allocate places at its discretion in special circumstances.
