Hi Michael,

My son got in based on his IB, I am not familiar with the UK high school 
system. The fees....not good news, it will be a minimum of 9000 GBP/year and 
that is only if she can get the UK/EU rate. My son is lucky, he is 
grandfathered at the old rate of just over 3000 GBP per year.

Cheers,
Nathan
