After completing an application form (which can be provided by email), return it to the Head Teacher with previous school records and/or examination results, a birth certificate and a passport photograph; you will be contacted to join Parent Workshops at the start of the academic year and will receive a copy of the Parent Handbook by email. 6. A Family Picnic is typically held during the first couple of weeks of each term for socialising. 7. Children joining mid-year can spend time with the class before joining; this is especially useful for EYFS. 8. Admissions process: before starting, visit for a tour or have an informal chat with the headteacher; final admission is subject to interview with the headteacher. 9.

Waiting lists: where a year group is full, new admissions will be placed on a waiting list; waiting lists operate on a first come, first served basis; priority may be given to siblings. 12. Siblings: children with siblings already attending the school will be given priority in waiting lists; there is a discount on tuition fees for siblings.

Where a year group is full, new admissions will be placed on a waiting list. Waiting lists operate on a first come, first served basis. Priority may be given to siblings of children who have a place in the school.
