Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

DBS accepts students from Pre-EY (age 2) to Year 13 (age 18).


Families may reserve a place from birth to guarantee entry in a future academic year. We recommend securing your child’s place early, as spaces in some year groups are highly sought after and fill quickly.

We welcome students from a variety of language backgrounds. All applicants complete an English assessment so we can understand their current ability and provide the right support.


• Students with strong English skills join mainstream classes directly.
• Students who need extra support may be offered places in our Language Support Programme, tailored to help them progress quickly while accessing the full DBS experience.

DBS offers a range of scholarships in academics, music, sport and EBC. While these do not reduce tuition fees, they provide a dedicated budget to support each scholar’s talent development. We also have a bursary programme for both current and prospective families, awarded based on financial need.


To learn more about scholarships or bursaries, please contact our Admissions Team.

• Mini Dragons: 8:30am – 2:00pm
• Nursery: 8:30am – 2:40pm

• Second session: 4:20pm – 5:20pm


While ASAs are optional, we highly recommend students from Year 3 and above join at least one per day. In Years 3–9, ASAs focus on helping students explore and develop their interests. In Years 10–13, they are designed to prepare students for university and future pathways.
