​Please note, if your child is in Nursery, they MUST apply for a place in Reception. Children do not automatically transfer from Investigators to Inventors. 

Admission to the Child and Family Centre

Our Children's Centre and School have different admissions policies. It is important you read them carefully because admission to the Children's Centre for a childcare place or Nursery place does not guarantee admission to the school in your child's Reception year.
