We have received a letter of conditional acceptance. What does this mean?
If a family is determined to be a good fit for the community, they will be extended a conditional offer of acceptance. The conditional acceptance is a practice to continually assess how we support families and if we can continue to support them throughout their time at St. Andrew’s School.
