Starting School in the Early Years

We want your children’s first experience of school to be a successful and happy one and we rely on your help in settling your child in. Before the end of the Summer term, you and your child will be invited to a series of induction events. These are a chance for you to familiarise yourself with the school, ask questions and begin to settle in. As well as finding out about the curriculum and the environment in which your child will be learning, you will be able to meet other new families and begin to build a support network to help you feel part of our school community.

We understand that starting school can be very daunting for all involved so we will take some time to get to know you and your child and alleviate any concerns you may have through offers such as home visits.  This also enables the staff to ensure that suitable, engaging activities are available on their first day at school and the children are more familiar with their new environment.

In-Year admissions

Choosing a Primary School is a big decision, whatever the age of your child. If you are moving into the area then please feel free to contact us to make a visit to see the school and ask questions.

If you wish to apply for a place in the school, applications must be made directly with Wandsworth Council and can be done via their website. Parents and carers should contact the Pupil Services (020 8871 7316) section to find out the availability of a place in the school and to obtain an application form and details of the procedure. Alternatively you can e-mail admissions@wandsworth.gov.uk.
