Read 2026-09-12 from the school's own published admission arrangements. The criteria are printed as a two-column table (rank, criterion) that plain text extraction scrambles, so they were taken from the table structure itself. The school is named in the criteria text, confirming the document belongs to it.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
