Short, full immersion, courses are offered at Burgess Hill Girls throughout the year depending upon the availability of boarding places. Short course students are able to join the school for a period of one to three terms in year groups 7, 8, 9, 10, or 12 (ages 11 – 15, or 16 – 17).
Students follow the regular subject timetable for their year group. Students also join in with all the co-curricular and enrichment activities that are a regular part of life at Burgess Hill Girls.
Entry Requirements
Assessment for entry is based on the student’s previous two school reports, a reference from their current school and an online or in person interview. There is a registration form to complete, and a registration fee of £180 registration fee (inclusive of VAT).
Whilst we do not require applicants to sit entrance examinations, in the interest of preparing effectively for their arrival, we do require students to take an English Language paper in advance of their start date. Our admissions team will arrange this.
Once a place is offered, a deposit of £500 is payable (deposits are not subject to VAT).
Monitoring & Assessment
Students sit an online cognitive ability test upon arrival so that progress can be monitored. A school certificate is presented on satisfactory completion of the course.
