We accept applications throughout the year, subject to available places in the applicable year group. If we do not have a space, you can request to be put on our waiting list and we will contact you if a place becomes available.

For those interested in a Nursery or Pre-school place, we prefer children to attend for a minimum of 4 sessions per week, subject to availability, which can be made up of mornings, afternoons, or full days. Children start Nursery from the age of 2.

Entry into Reception is for children who are 4 years old before September 1st.
