Reception
We currently offer 30 places in our Reception class. Children are eligible for Reception in the September of the school year in which they become 5 years old (1st September – 31st August).
The criteria for selection are different from those mentioned above for the Nursery. Having a place in the Nursery does not guarantee a place in the main school.
All admissions enquiries are dealt with by the school admissions team, Civic Centre, Lampton Road, Hounslow, TW3 4DN. It is important that parents contact the Department as soon as possible when looking for a place and, for Reception classes and Secondary transfer, keep to the deadlines for application. You can call 020 8583 2711 or you can email the Hounslow admissions team here. To find out more about Hounslow admissions you can go to their website here.

Admissions to Secondary Schools
The school will arrange a meeting for parents and children in September to discuss the process of secondary school admissions and inform them of key dates for applications.
Open days at secondary schools are held throughout September and the beginning of October and parents are encouraged to attend these events. You must apply for a secondary school place online using eAdmissions.
