Information for Agents

Bromsgrove’s admissions team work with several reputable and highly regarded educational agents across the globe. We are registered with AEGIS and BBSN and welcome new agents with similar accreditation.

For an agent to work with us, we take up references, arrange a visit to Bromsgrove (or an online visit if in person isn’t possible) and put in place a contract agreement.

We are always delighted to consider bright, high achieving students who are likely to go on to top UK and other world-class universities. We do expect a reasonable level of fluency in the English language from the outset (though we offer a great deal of extra language support to our international pupils where it is needed).Once we have assessed the candidate’s school reports, we will advise whether we are able to accept a registration from them. On receipt of the completed Registration Fee, and payment of the Registration Fee, we will then proceed to testing. Tests, including relevant online links and passwords will be emailed to the agent. The Registration Form and payment of the Registration Fee must be received prior to sitting the entrance tests.

All pupils wishing to gain entry to Bromsgrove School are required to sit our entrance examinations. If a pupil is already studying within the United Kingdom, we normally ask the pupil to visit Bromsgrove School to be interviewed and assessed. All tests must be completed under examination conditions, this can be at the agent’s office, in your current school, at a lawyer’s office or (in some countries) at a British Council office.

The offer of a place will be based on performance in the examination, confidential reports from the agent and your current school and, where possible, a personal or online interview with our senior staff. For pupils already studying at another UK school, we will also request a confidential school report.
