Entry information
Rida Boys High School accepts applications for its 11–16 secondary school. Its shared September 2025–27 policy asks for a registration form, an interview with the child and parents, and a current-school report. An entrance test is specified for mid-year applications only; it is not stated as a routine Year 7 step. Places depend on availability and the published criteria.

The admissions process
- Arrange a school visit and submit the registration form
