Haileybury Bhaluka Admission 2027: Fees, Entry Ages & Scholarships
Thinking about Haileybury Bhaluka for 2027? The first thing to know is that this school does not publish a yearly “admission circular” like Bangladeshi schools do. It is a fully residential British international school, and it takes applications all year round. What changes each year is the fee chart and the birth-date ranges for each year group.
This guide puts the current fees, entry ages, scholarships and the full application process in one place, so you can plan for the next intake.
What Kind of School Is Haileybury Bhaluka?
- An international boarding school affiliated with Haileybury in the UK
- Campus at Dhamshur Mallikbari, Bhaluka, Mymensingh, about 75 km north of Dhaka
- Admissions office in Nikunja-2, Khilkhet, Dhaka

Scholarships: Up to 75% Off
Haileybury Bhaluka runs a merit scholarship fund linked to the Cognitive Ability Test (CAT) that every applicant takes.
| CAT score | Scholarship on tuition and boarding |
|---|---|
| 9 | 75% |
| 8 | 50% |
A scholarship continues for the student’s whole time at the school, as long as progress stays strong in the regular English, Maths and Science progress tests.
Entry Ages by Year Group
The school follows the British school year, which starts in September, and places children by date of birth. These are the official ranges for 2026-27:
| Age | Year group | Born between |
|---|---|---|
| 11+ | Year 7 | 1 Sep 2014 – 31 Aug 2015 |
| 12+ | Year 8 | 1 Sep 2013 – 31 Aug 2014 |
| 13+ | Year 9 | 1 Sep 2012 – 31 Aug 2013 |
| 14+ | Year 10 | 1 Sep 2011 – 31 Aug 2012 |
| 15+ | Year 11 | 1 Sep 2010 – 31 Aug 2011 |
| 16+ | Year 12 (Sixth Form) | 1 Sep 2009 – 31 Aug 2010 |
| 17+ | Year 13 (Sixth Form) | 1 Sep 2008 – 31 Aug 2009 |
For a September 2027 start, each range simply moves one year later (for example, Year 7 would be children born 1 September 2015 to 31 August 2016). This is our calculation from the school’s pattern; confirm it with the admissions team.

Documents Needed With the Application

- Birth certificate or passport of the student
