Children may join the school at any point from 3 months to 7 years. Once you have decided you would like your child to join us (following a visit to the school), we ask that parents contact our Admissions team (admissions@pilgrims-school.org.uk) to request access to our online registration form. Once submitted, and payment of the £125 registration fee has been received, your child’s name will then be placed on the provisional register for entry into the room/year group of choice, on your proposed start date. Prior to full enrolment, your child will be invited to attend a pre-enrolment visit within their appropriate peer group. After a successful visit, you will be asked to complete the enrolment paperwork and pay the required £500 deposit. Once this paperwork is received and acknowledged by us, your child’s place is confirmed.
There is no entrance exam or selection process but we do ask that if your child is joining us in Year 1 or Year 2, they spend some time with us before a place is confirmed.
The school is very full in certain areas and early registration is advisable. It is important for parents to note that priority is given for places within our Reception year group to those children who already attend our Pre School. Therefore, to avoid disappointment, early enrolment into Pre School is advised. Please contact the school’s Registrar for further details on this process.
