Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Inquiry and tour. New parents and their child visit during a regular school day for a scheduled tour. Contact the Admissions Office at 08184111000 to arrange a tour, which lasts about 30 minutes. Overseas families may be granted an exemption to complete the required admissions paperwork before arrival to ensure timely enrolment. 2. Make an application. Submit an application with a completed and signed Application for Admission form and the documents listed: Medical form; Right of Publicity form; two passport-size photographs; birth certificate; vaccination booklet; and school reports for the past two terms (translated into English and authenticated if necessary). Pay the non-refundable/non-transferable Application Fee of N15,000 per child by bank transfer or POS. Submission of all documents and the fee is required before processing and does not guarantee a place; year groups can fill quickly, so early registration is advised. Applications may be submitted in person at Hampton Preparatory School, 23, Prince Adelowo Adedeji Street, Lekki Phase 1, Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria. 3. Assessment, testing and interview. All applicants seeking entry are tested or assessed (EYFS) and must meet with the Headteacher to discuss programs and curriculum. The assessment helps determine the best placement and identify any required support. The assessment material is private and not viewable. The School reserves the right to reject applications where needs cannot be met by the current program. 4. Offer a place. After assessment, parents are informed by email, text or call that the child has been offered a guaranteed place, placed on a Waiting List for entry if further places become available, or is unsuccessful. If the application is successful, an offer of place is made. 5. Admission letter. To accept the offer for the start of the next academic year, or for immediate entry in exceptional circumstances, parents should complete and return the Admission Letter form and pay the entrance fees (non-refundable) within the timeframe stated in the offer. If an employer pays the fees, provide a Letter of Financial Guarantee from the company and send it before the due date. 6. Parental support of the school and its ethos. All Hampton Preparatory School parents are expected to support the ethos and policies of the School, including Child Protection and Safeguarding, Online Safety and Digital Responsibility, Health and Safety, Learning and Teaching, Behaviour for Learning, Attendance and Homework. 7. Admission. Upon payment or letter of financial guarantee confirming acceptance, the School will invite parents to purchase school uniforms at the Hampton Prep School Admissions Office and the office will communicate the start date and first day details.
Waiting List. The school places applicants on a Waiting List for entry when immediate places are not available.
