Reception Admissions

Children born between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022 are eligible to start school in September 2026. The closing date for applications is Thursday 15th January 2026.

The main entry time is the start of the academic year in which a child becomes 5. We take children into Reception from the start of the autumn term. This is the main admission time and is handled by the Royal Borough of Kingston LA. 

Below is the link to the AFC website, it holds additional useful information for families which may help in your application.
