If you are ready to take the next step and begin our application process, please complete an application form. Once we receive it, our admissions team will contact you to arrange an admissions visit for your child.
Following your child’s admissions visit, we will be in touch to share the results and discuss the next steps together. We will then guide you through the paperwork and deposit process to confirm your child’s place.
Before starting in September, children are warmly invited to a settling-in afternoon during the summer term, a lovely opportunity for them to explore their new classroom, meet their teacher, and begin feeling at home with their new friends.
During the summer term, parents are invited to join Mr Jelley and our junior school staff for welcome drinks and canapés, offering the chance to meet other new families and get to know our staff in a relaxed and friendly setting.
If you would like more information about the admissions process, please visit our How to Apply page below for full details.
