Applying for a school place
CHILDREN ALREADY IN NURSERY SCHOOL:
Children already attending and who will be 4 years of age before 31
st
August will be given priority in the allocation of Prep 2 places subject
to the rules set out below. We will advise you of the application
procedure in the Autumn term preceding your child’s entry into Prep 2.
An open evening will be held during this term and this is a good
opportunity to find out more about the school. If you want your child
to be considered for Prep 2 entry then you must fill in and return a
Prep School Application Form, which is available from the school office.
(Note: you may return a completed Prep School application form at
any time earlier in the year or even in an earlier year if you wish).
Once in receipt of your application, an offer letter will be sent and you
will have a fixed period of time in which to accept the place.
Acceptance of a place is achieved by paying a place deposit of £100 to
the school. A place will only be reserved upon receipt of a full place
deposit which is redeemable against the first term's fees but not
refundable in the event of the place not being taken. Subsequent to
this any remaining Prep 2 places will made equally available outside
the school and will be filled on a first come, first served basis until the
class is full.
CHILDREN NOT ALREADY AT THE SCHOOL
You may apply at any time for entry into any school year up to the age
of 11 years old. Normally you will wish to come and have a look around
the school and this is done by making an appointment with the Head of
the Prep, who will be pleased to show you around school and answer
all your questions. If you like the school and you want a place, you
must apply by returning a completed application form. Once we have
this we will then contact you to arrange a time when you could bring
your child into school so that we may meet them. We will want to
assess your child’s progress in an informal way and the outcome of
these meetings is usually very positive. If we are able to offer your
child a place then we will inform you of this in writing. You must then
accept this offer, within a specific time, by returning a place deposit of
£250.00, which is redeemable against the first term's fees but not
refundable in the event of the place not being taken.
