Students complete an age-appropriate assessment in reading, writing, and mathematics, while also spending time in the classroom, participating in learning activities and engaging with teachers and peers. Throughout the day, our team considers academic readiness alongside social engagement, independence, adaptability, and the level of support a student may require. This comprehensive approach provides a well-rounded understanding of each applicant and helps determine whether Rotherglen is the right fit for the student and family.
