Questions
Questions schools ask
Can families apply online?
Yes. A family fills in the application and uploads documents in the app. An enquiry form on the school's own website is planned.
Where do the documents go?
Onto the applicant's page, beside the form, so the admissions officer sees what has arrived and what is still to come.
Can we run a readiness assessment?
Yes. The readiness assessment, the interview, the decision and the offer each have their place on the applicant's page.
Who decides on an application?
The school. Slooch keeps the steps in order; the admissions officer and the panel make the decision.
Does it handle re-enrolment?
Yes. Each year the families at the school confirm whether each child returns, and the office sees who has not answered.
Is there a waiting list?
Not yet. A waiting list, with each family told where it stands, is planned.
We take applications by email today. Can we start mid-cycle?
Yes. Slooch services set up the school's forms, documents and stages for the next intake, and the office adds the applications already in hand.
Can we buy Admissions on its own?
Yes. Every part can be bought alone, and Admissions also comes in Slooch Office and Slooch Whole School.

Every part reads and writes the same families, learners and staff, so adding one is a setting.
