Reception 2027 Timeline

Reception Offers are made in order of date of registration, sixteen months ahead of entry.  Once parents accept an offer (by agreeing to the terms of the parent contract and making payment of the acceptance deposit), children and parents attend two transition events; the Spring and Summer Stay and Plays.

MAY 2026: RECEPTION 2027 OFFERS BEGIN

We begin making offers sixteen months ahead of entry into Reception. Offers are sent out in order of date of registration (with siblings of current pupils given priority).

To secure the place, payment of your acceptance deposit will be due within 10 days of your offer, along with signed agreement to terms of parent contract.

Note: A place cannot be secured without payment of the security deposit and submission of the signed acceptance form (to agree to terms of parent contract).
