What will my child’s interview entail or involve?

A combination of English written, spoken and comprehension.

We will also check your child’s attitude and behaviour and ensure that they will contribute to a positive experience for everyone whilst they are at Wingate. Most students who fail the interview process are due to our staff believing that the child’s level of English would not allow them to follow lessons properly and result in a negative impact their progress.
