Reception Admissions

Children start school in the September following their fourth birthday. All applications for Reception places are handled by the London Borough of Islington and you must apply via them using the common application form. You can find this by visiting Islington School Admissions. In addition, you should also complete the school’s Supplementary Information Form (below). Although not compulsory, the information on this extra form enables the Governing Body to assess your application fully against the school criteria in the event of oversubscription. Please download the supplementary information form and return it directly to the school office.

The deadline for applying for a school place starting in September 2025 will be January 2025.
