Each application is considered on its individual merit. Applications for admission to MSF are primarily accepted during the period November to April for the following school year, and as places become available throughout the year. We do accept students for mid-year enrolment provided space is available.

MSF is unable to offer places to children whose educational needs exceed what the school can accommodate.
While there is no special programme for children regarded as gifted, the small class sizes and differentiated instruction enable such children to be challenged appropriately within the existing programme.
MSF is unable to offer programmes for children with significant learning disabilities who require specialist teachers or those who have severe behavioural or emotional difficulties. The school reserves the right to refuse admission to any child we feel would be unable to benefit from the curriculum offered.
