Admissions to Reception
We are a two-form entry school, which means we welcome 60 children into our Reception classes each year and admissions are coordinated by Enfield Council.
Children join us during the autumn term of the school year (1 September to 31 August) in which they reach their fifth birthday. All children start school initially on a part time basis to help them settle in successfully. Children’s specific needs will be dealt with individually.
During the summer term prior to your child starting school in Reception, we arrange a number of opportunities for you and your child to get to know more about how our school works and the people who will be supporting your child’s learning. We organise an information meeting for parents and carers which provides an opportunity for discussion and time to answer your questions. Your children are also invited to attend school for some play sessions to take part in activities and share a story.
Any parent whose request for a place is refused has the right to appeal. See our full admissions arrangements here.
