    Admissions Policy

    Throughout the admissions procedures, Bellver College’s policy is to ensure the best interests
    of the pupil educationally. To fulfil this objective:

    ● All new pupils must undergo a selection process which will vary according to the age
    and the section of the College they are applying for.
    ● Following this selection process, admission to the school requires the approval of the
    Principal.
    ● Bellver College reserves the right to contact the child’s current school for a
    confidential reference before full admission.
    ● The school reserves the right to refuse admission to children who it considers will not
    benefit from the academic program that it offers.
    ● When allocating places, priority will be given to candidates who already have siblings
    studying at Bellver College.
    ● Any application is subject to availability in the year group.

    EYFS and KS1 (Infants – Year 2)

    Entrance to the Early Years Department requires an interview with the parents and, if
    possible, the child.

    Entrance to Years 1-2 also requires an interview with the parents. This time, it is necessary
    for the child to be present.

    Pupils with no prior knowledge of English can be accepted into Infants and Reception classes
    without having to receive any extra support in English to begin with.

    Key Stage 2 (Year 3 – Year 6)

    Entrance to Key Stage 2 requires a test in English based on the Cambridge Checkpoint
    Curriculum for the corresponding level of entry, unless the child comes from an English
    speaking school (where they have studied for at least 2 years). The Principal may decide to
    use different resources should the candidate’s level be considered insufficient to access the
    standard evaluation. Pupils whose level of English will be considered insufficient must agree
    to a programme of intensive English lessons for at least two terms and will be immediately
    referred to the Learning Support Department.

    Entrance to Key Stage 2 also requires an interview with the parents and the pupil. Parents
    must provide school reports for the last two academic years.

    Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 (Year 7 – Year 11)

    Entrance to Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 requires pupils to be tested in English and
    Mathematics based on the Cambridge Checkpoint curriculum or the English National
    Curriculum for the corresponding level of study. Students coming from a British or American
    school may be exempted from the evaluation, should their school reports be positive.
    Entrance to KS3 and KS4 also requires an interview with the parents and the pupil. Parents
    must provide school reports for the last two academic years.

    Pupils applying for admission to Year 11 must have studied the first year of the (I)GCSE
    course (Year 10) in the British system the year prior to their entry to Bellver International
    College. Even so, a place is not guaranteed, should the school be unable to provide a
    curriculum that matches the needs of the pupil.

    Key Stage 5 (Year 12 – 13)

    All students and their parents are required to attend an interview with the Principal before
    being admitted to Year 12 or Year 13.

    Pupils from the British system wishing to enter Year 12 are required to have achieved a
    minimum of 5 pass grades at (I)GCSE, with a grade C or above, including a C or above in the
    subjects they wish to study at A Level. They must also have passed their (I) GCSE English
    1st Language and Mathematics, with a grade C or above. Pupils who wish to study
    Mathematics at A Level must have achieved a B/6 at IGCSE.

    Pupils from other international systems wishing to join Year 12 will be required to have
    passed the majority of their subjects in their own system or take entry tests based on IGCSE
    standards for Year 11.

    The school may admit pupils into Year 13 provided that they have a proven academic level
    and their subject choices coincide with the programme offered by Bellver College. The
    minimum requirement is 3 AS passes with C grade or above in the subjects they wish to take
    to A2.

    Student Support Services

    The Student Support Program at Bellver College is designed to respond to the specific
    needs of our school community and is shaped by our student population and available
    resources. The program aims to support students with identified learning needs and
    exceptionalities who meet Bellver College’s admissions criteria.

    Bellver College is committed to providing a continuum of support for students with mild
    learning differences, mild language challenges, sensory needs, needs for additional assistance
    in specific academic areas, executive functioning challenges, and for high-achieving students
    who require targeted support. The School also seeks to support students who benefit from
    social-emotional counseling and social skills development.

    Application Process for Parents

    When a student requires academic or learning support, enrollment decisions will be guided by
    the following:

    1. Disclosure of Information

    During the application process, parents are expected to provide complete and
    accurate information and documentation related to their child’s current and previous
    educational needs, including any learning support, accommodations, or special
    education services.

    2. Accuracy and Transparency

    Parents who provide full and accurate information contribute positively to the
    admissions process and help ensure a smooth and successful transition into the
    Bellver College community. Honesty and transparency are essential to maintaining a
    supportive educational environment for all students. If it is determined that
    information has been knowingly withheld, enrollment may be terminated.

    3. Internal Notification

    If an applying student is identified—through school records, assessments, or parent
    inquiry—as having learning or support needs, the Principal will promptly notify the
    SENCo and relevant admissions team to determine additional information needed.

    4. Review and Assessment

    All application materials, school records, and assessment data will be carefully
    reviewed. When appropriate, a parent conference may be scheduled and additional
    assessments may be requested to further understand the student’s needs. A trial visit
    day may be required. Additional assessments will be organized in collaboration with
    the Principal and SENCO at the cost of the parents. The evaluation result is the
    property of the parent but Bellver will use the result to determine next steps.

    5. Program Capacity

    Enrollment may be denied if the Principal determines that the School’s Student
    Support Program is not able to adequately meet the student’s identified needs, or if
    the program is at capacity and there is no additional space.
    When a student is admitted with identified support needs, the School may develop an
    Individual Action Plan (IAP) to clarify goals, accommodations, supports, and
    responsibilities, ensuring a shared understanding between the School and family.

    When a student is admitted with identified support needs, the School may develop an
    Individual Action Plan (IAP) to clarify goals, accommodations, supports, and
    responsibilities, ensuring a shared understanding between the School and family.
    Bellver follows the model of Tiered Systems of Support, which guides us to aim to set
    thresholds in each class for the capacity of students we can serve. Generally speaking, we aim
    to have 5-10% of students in our classes in “Tier 3” services, meaning they get intensive,
    individualized support.

    The Student Support Program may require a student to obtain a valid Psychoeducational
    evaluation in order to best determine strengths, challenges and necessarily programmatic
    changes. Psychoeducational evaluations are considered valid if they are completed within the
    last three years and by a school psychologist. The full report must be presented to the school,
    in English and must include standardized scores (not only percentages or ranges) as this is a
    requirement for GCSE external examinations. The SENCO will facilitate the evaluation and
    can liaise with teachers, families and psychologists. (Guidance on Quality Evaluations will be
    provided by the SENCO)

    If a student is already enrolled at Bellver College, and determined to need an assessment, or
    therapy services, the family/guardian must follow up on the recommendation or risk potential
    impact on ongoing enrollment. Additional therapies or assessments will be paid for by the
    family directly.

    EAL Support

    Language screeners will be administered to determine language levels of students that may
    need support with English language development. The teacher leaders are consulted on these
    cases, and may help administer the language screener.

    Students below a language level __ will not be admitted in year level 4 and above.

    Life Centered Education

    Bellver College is committed to a transparent and equitable admissions process that, from the
    moment of initial inquiry, upholds the principle of the Least Restrictive Environment for all
    applicants. Parents or Guardians applying for admission to the LCE program will be
    requested to submit all relevant documents for review, based on the child’s profile. Such
    documentation includes, but is not limited to nor required below if not relevant:

    ● Psychoeducational evaluation
    ● Current Individual Education Plan (IEP)
    ● Medical records
    ● 504 Plan or Individual Health Plan (IHP)
    ● Auxiliary services evaluations & reports
    ● School records

    The Admissions team will set up virtual or in person meetings as pertinent with:

    ● Student Support Committee & Parents
    ● Student Support Committee & Current School team
    ● Student Support Committee & student service providers (Psychologists, Behavioral
    Therapists, Speech and Occupational therapists – as needed)
    ● Student Support Committee & Student (for Secondary)

    Any final decisions regarding admission to the LCE program will be based on
    recommendations of the committee and decided by the Principal prior to a budget letter being
    presented to the family.

    In all instances where Bellver cannot meet the needs of the family due to limited availability
    of services and student number restraints, a letter of decline will be prepared and reviewed by
    the SENCO and further authorized by the Principal.

    The LCE program capacity is determined annually by the Student Support team in
    collaboration with the Principal, and ensures a 2 to 1 student to staff ratio is maintained.

    Confirmation of places

    All admissions to Bellver College are considered by the Principal. Other members of staff
    may be consulted should the Principal consider it relevant.

    Once decision has been made, parents will be notified. If the pupil has been admitted, parents
    will be given payment details to secure their child’s place in the school.

    An admissions file will be shared with all teachers of the student to ensure they have the
    necessary information to support the student from the start

      supportive educational environment for all students. If it is determined that
      information has been knowingly withheld, enrollment may be terminated.

      3. Internal Notification

      If an applying student is identified—through school records, assessments, or parent
      inquiry—as having learning or support needs, the Principal will promptly notify the
      SENCo and relevant admissions team to determine additional information needed.

      4. Review and Assessment

      All application materials, school records, and assessment data will be carefully
      reviewed. When appropriate, a parent conference may be scheduled and additional
      assessments may be requested to further understand the student’s needs. A trial visit
      day may be required. Additional assessments will be organized in collaboration with
      the Principal and SENCO at the cost of the parents. The evaluation result is the
      property of the parent but Bellver will use the result to determine next steps.

      5. Program Capacity

      Enrollment may be denied if the Principal determines that the School’s Student
      Support Program is not able to adequately meet the student’s identified needs, or if
      the program is at capacity and there is no additional space.
      When a student is admitted with identified support needs, the School may develop an
      Individual Action Plan (IAP) to clarify goals, accommodations, supports, and
      responsibilities, ensuring a shared understanding between the School and family.

      Bellver follows the model of Tiered Systems of Support, which guides us to aim to set
      thresholds in each class for the capacity of students we can serve. Generally speaking, we aim
      to have 5-10% of students in our classes in “Tier 3” services, meaning they get intensive,
      individualized support.

      The Student Support Program may require a student to obtain a valid Psychoeducational
      evaluation in order to best determine strengths, challenges and necessarily programmatic
      changes. Psychoeducational evaluations are considered valid if they are completed within the
      last three years and by a school psychologist. The full report must be presented to the school,
      in English and must include standardized scores (not only percentages or ranges) as this is a
      requirement for GCSE external examinations. The SENCO will facilitate the evaluation and
      can liaise with teachers, families and psychologists. (Guidance on Quality Evaluations will be
      provided by the SENCO)

      If a student is already enrolled at Bellver College, and determined to need an assessment, or
      therapy services, the family/guardian must follow up on the recommendation or risk potential
      impact on ongoing enrollment. Additional therapies or assessments will be paid for by the
      family directly.

      EAL Support

      Language screeners will be administered to determine language levels of students that may
      need support with English language development. The teacher leaders are consulted on these
      cases, and may help administer the language screener.

      Students below a language level __ will not be admitted in year level 4 and above.

      Life Centered Education

      Bellver College is committed to a transparent and equitable admissions process that, from the
      moment of initial inquiry, upholds the principle of the Least Restrictive Environment for all
      applicants. Parents or Guardians applying for admission to the LCE program will be
      requested to submit all relevant documents for review, based on the child’s profile. Such
      documentation includes, but is not limited to nor required below if not relevant:

      ● Psychoeducational evaluation
      ● Current Individual Education Plan (IEP)
      ● Medical records
      ● 504 Plan or Individual Health Plan (IHP)
      ● Auxiliary services evaluations & reports
      ● School records

      The Admissions team will set up virtual or in person meetings as pertinent with:

      ● Student Support Committee & Parents
      ● Student Support Committee & Current School team
      ● Student Support Committee & student service providers (Psychologists, Behavioral
      Therapists, Speech and Occupational therapists – as needed)
      ● Student Support Committee & Student (for Secondary)

      Any final decisions regarding admission to the LCE program will be based on
      recommendations of the committee and decided by the Principal prior to a budget letter being
      presented to the family.

      In all instances where Bellver cannot meet the needs of the family due to limited availability
      of services and student number restraints, a letter of decline will be prepared and reviewed by
      the SENCO and further authorized by the Principal.

      The LCE program capacity is determined annually by the Student Support team in
      collaboration with the Principal, and ensures a 2 to 1 student to staff ratio is maintained.

      Confirmation of places

      All admissions to Bellver College are considered by the Principal. Other members of staff
      may be consulted should the Principal consider it relevant.

      Once decision has been made, parents will be notified. If the pupil has been admitted, parents
      will be given payment details to secure their child’s place in the school.

      An admissions file will be shared with all teachers of the student to ensure they have the
      necessary information to support the student from the start
