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. Age and intake. We welcome children from three years of age. For the September intake, children who turn three between September and December can start (age 2 years 9 months +), known as rising three's, and they must be potty trained to start. Children born in the same calendar year are placed in the same year group (for example, children born in 2022 could start in September 2025). 2. Waiting list and priorities. As soon as you submit your application, your child is added to the waiting list. Priorities are: siblings (registered within the 1st year of birth); pupils from L'Ecole des Petits moving to L'Ecole de Battersea; siblings of former pupils; children of former pupils. New applicants are listed by registration dates, with the time between birth and registration also considered. 3. Registration fee. A registration fee is payable when you apply: Petite Section £95 (VAT Exempt) or Moyenne Section to CM2 £114 (incl VAT). 4. Offers and admission fees. Offers are sent from October in the year before starting. On acceptance of a place, a non-refundable admission fee is due: Petite Section £1,350 (VAT Exempt) or Moyenne Section to CM2 £1,620 (incl VAT). 5. Fees and securing a place. New pupils joining in September must pay their first term fees in advance before 1 April to secure their place (see school terms and conditions). 6. Registration and visits. The school office is open Monday–Friday, 9:15am–12:00pm and 1:00pm–4:30pm. To proceed with registration, contact Mrs Daniélou to request a registration package. We encourage visits before enrolling; school visits are conducted on Friday mornings from October to May.
