When to apply
The application process typically begins at least 12 months prior to joining. However, we are happy to consider later applications, as long as places are available in the relevant year group. We do offer a waiting list if the year group in question is full.
There is no formal deadline for applications to join our Preschool or Junior School. We welcome applications all year round.
Please contact admissions to check year group availability.
