Introduction

Peak School is an IB World School offering the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for children aged 5–11, with a two-form entry and around 360 students. Located on The Peak, the campus is reachable from Central via minibus 1 and Citybus 15; the school notes that there is no on-site parking. Learning follows an inquiry-based PYP approach, with “specialist subjects” enriching classroom learning and a strong programme of sports, expressive arts, and cultural activities at lunch and after school. Outdoor learning includes a staged camp and trip programme beginning in Year 3. Student support is detailed, with a School Counselor, Emotional Literacy Support Assistants (ELSA), and a Learning Diversity Team of specialist teachers and educational assistants; outside providers offer speech and language and occupational therapy, and the school runs animal-assisted therapy on site. Daily transport is provided by Kwoon Chung Motors (KCM) under a dedicated bus service for families.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Book a school visit or information session.
Families are encouraged to attend an open day or arrange a visit through the English Schools Foundation (ESF) website. This allows parents to meet the admissions team, learn more about the IB Primary Years Programme, and understand the school’s daily life and expectations.

2. Submit the online application and required documents.
Parents must complete the ESF online application form during the admissions period. Supporting documents typically include the student’s passport, visa (if applicable), birth certificate, recent school reports, and a recent photograph. All documents are uploaded directly through the ESF online portal.

3. Attend an interview or assessment.
When a place becomes available, the school will invite the student for an interview or age-appropriate assessment to ensure readiness for the English-medium learning environment. This process helps determine how the school can best support the child’s transition.

4. Receive an offer and confirm enrolment.
Successful applicants receive a formal offer letter from the ESF Admissions Office. Parents must accept the offer in writing and pay the non-refundable enrolment deposit to secure the place.

5. Complete registration and prepare for the start of school.
After enrolment is confirmed, the admissions team provides orientation details, including class information, uniforms, and school bus registration through Kwoon Chung Motors (KCM). Families receive communication about the start date and introductory events for new students.

Scholarships
ESF Peak School does not offer scholarships or financial aid programmes at the primary level. The wider English Schools Foundation has financial aid and scholarship options for post-16 students at secondary level, but these do not apply to Peak School.

Waitlist
ESF Peak School operates a waiting list system rather than a pool system. Applications are placed in order of submission date and according to ESF’s priority categories, such as children of ESF staff, siblings of current students, and those attending ESF kindergartens. When a vacancy arises, offers are made to the next eligible student on the list. Waiting lists are reviewed and updated regularly throughout the school year.
