RGSV Vietnam supports social and emotional learning through a safeguarding framework that provides a safe learning environment, promotes health and wellbeing, and teaches pupils how to keep safe and manage risk; the Designated Safeguarding Lead is Mr Brendan Finn, and all safeguarding staff receive Level 3 safeguarding and child protection training with annual refreshers.

The school provides SEN support via Shadow Teaching Assistance, where a shadow teaching assistant works with a pupil with learning differences or specific needs to enable participation in mainstream classes and promote independence and continuity in learning.

English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is delivered through Shadow Teaching Assistance, a limited-service programme designed to assist EAL students and help them participate effectively in class.

Mental wellbeing is a focus within RGSV's approach, evidenced by activities and workshops such as a 2022 prep parents workshop on pastoral care, wellbeing and behaviour, and by safeguarding arrangements that promote health and wellbeing.

RGSV has a formal safeguarding structure: a Designated Safeguarding Lead, a safeguarding team, induction for all staff, Level 3 safeguarding training with annual refreshers, a formal safeguarding policy, and multilingual visitors' leaflets (English, Vietnamese, Korean).

Step 1 – Inquiry and information gathering: Families begin by registering interest through RGSV's online admissions portal or by contacting the admissions team by phone or email. You can request the prospectus and book Open Events or tours to experience RGSV in action. The Admissions Team provides guidance on appropriate entry points (Preparatory or Secondary) and introduces available scholarship options and Assisted Places.

Step 2 – Online application and initial documentation: Submit the online application via the RGSV admissions portal. You will need to provide basic student information and upload required documents; for scholarship consideration, a separate scholarship application form will be issued closer to the exam date. It is important to gather current school reports (translated to English if needed) and any certificates or awards to support the application.

Step 3 – Scholarship application (if applicable) and supporting materials: If applying for scholarships, complete the scholarship application and attach supporting documents such as the current school report, translated/certified where required, and any certificates or prizes. A separate scholarship form is required for most award types, and references from independent tutors or coaches may be requested depending on the scholarship category.

Step 4 – Entrance assessments and auditions (for various scholarships and entry points): Applicants may be asked to complete CAT4 assessments, subject-specific tests, and, in some cases, auditions or portfolio reviews (for arts and music scholarships). Round structure and test content vary by scholarship category and year group, with Year 7–12 applicants typically facing CAT4 plus written tests and interviews.

Step 5 – Interview and final scholarship/entry decisions: A final interview with teaching staff is part of the process for many scholarships and for some year groups. The outcome may be a scholarship offer, a place offered, or advice on next steps if a place is not immediately available. The RGSV portal and admissions team will communicate decisions and any next steps.

Step 6 – Offer, enrollment, and fee arrangements: If a place is offered, families must confirm by signing the online contract within the stated deadline and pay the enrollment fee. The application includes an enrollment fee and a CAT4 assessment fee; details are provided in the admissions portal and on the Fees page. RGSV also notes that Assisted Places or scholarships may contribute toward tuition—up to a total 50% reduction in some cases—subject to eligibility.

Step 7 – Post-acceptance support and next steps: Following acceptance, families receive onboarding information and can engage with the Admissions Team for settlement of any remaining fees and to arrange transportation, uniforms, or meal plans if needed. The Assisted Places policy outlines confidential income assessments and annual reviews to determine ongoing support.

RGSV does not publish a formal waitlist. Where a place is not immediately available, admissions staff indicate that a place may become available in the future and will contact families if such a place opens. The school also limits certain scholarships (for example, up to 20 Academic Scholarship seats per year) and may adjust allocations based on applicant quality and funding.
