Admission Arrangements

Admission to Nursery

Children start nursery in the September following their 3rd birthday. You can apply for a place once your child is 2 years old. Please pick up an application form from the school office. We will need proof of your child's date of birth i.e. birth certificate or passport. If there are spaces available your child will be able to start nursery in either the spring or summer term. Being part of Nursery does not mean a child will automatically become part of the main school as we are not able to give priority and separate application has to be made for Reception.

Below is the link to the online nursery booklet from the AFC website, it holds additional useful information for families which may help in your application.

Admission to Start the Reception Year

The main entry time is the start of the academic year in which a child becomes 5. We take children into Reception from the start of the autumn term so that all children have the opportunity to attend school for 3 terms. Full time school is usual after the first few days, but we are happy to discuss and respond to children’s individual needs and children can stay part time if parents would like them to. We strongly believe it should be the provision that is right for the child. This is the main admission time and is handled by the Royal Borough of Kingston LA.

Admission at Other Times

Families do move into and out of the area, so there may be spaces in other year groups. Again this is handled by the LA, but we are happy to arrange for families to see the school and give support and information – please just telephone or email the school office
