Admissions

Admissions
1 - Book a Visit. The Head of Admissions guides applicants through every step of the process. Bespoke weekly tours are offered for families, with an opportunity to meet the Headmaster and ask questions. For overseas families, a virtual meeting is available. 2 - Register your Child. Registration is open from birth, and early registration is encouraged. For Rising 3s and Pre-Kindergarten, the first to register join the main list and are guaranteed an offer; for all other year groups, a waiting list applies. A non-refundable registration fee of £100 per child applies for Pre-Kindergarten/Rising 3s and £120 for Kindergarten to Year 6. 3 - Entry Points. The main entry point is Pre-Kindergarten in September after a child's third birthday; since September 2025 rising 3s groups offer an early transition. Offers are made in registration order in the autumn term prior to entry. Younger siblings, children of former pupils and staff, and Riverside Nurseries attendees have priority. Casual Admissions maintain a waiting list for other year groups; Year 2+ entrants attend a Taster Day and complete gentle assessments, which can be carried out remotely if necessary. 4 - How to Accept an Offer of Place. Acceptance requires a deposit of £3,000, with autumn term fees invoiced in the spring term after 1 March. Both the deposit and advance fees are non-refundable if withdrawal occurs before attendance. The deposit is refunded after Year 6, subject to any outstanding fees being settled. 5 - Before the First Day. After a place is confirmed, the school hosts events to help transition for Rising 3s/Pre-Kindergarten; these include opportunities to meet the new teacher and classmates ahead of starting. The school aims to ensure the child is comfortable with the move.

Waitlist
Casual Admissions maintain a waiting list for admissions into all other year groups, either at the start of the academic year or during the year, depending on availability. Offers are made based on the space available and the order of registration. Priority is given to younger siblings, children of former pupils, and staff, as well as to those connected with Riverside Nurseries, for entry to the Pre-Kindergarten pathway when spaces arise.
