Waitlist Applications

Enrolments are open all year round. Interested parents may submit the application form and pay the non-refundable and non-transferrable application fee to apply to the school. If your child has been accepted but there is no immediate availability, your child will be placed on the waitlist. The school will reach out to the parent when a place is available. Should parents wish to withdraw from the waitlist before a place is offered or chooses not to accept the offer, the application fee will not be refundable nor transferable. If no place is offered within 2 years, the application will be considered as unsuccessful. Unsuccessful applicants may re-apply by submitting a fresh application.

In the event that parents wish to enroll their child at Middleton at a later date after declining the initial offer, they will need to reapply and pay the non-refundable administrative fee again. This will be treated as a new application.
