Admissions

Before deciding to register your child we strongly recommend that you come and visit the school for yourself.

We still have a small number of places in our 2022 Reception Class - please contact the school office for more information.

Is your child due to start school in 2023?

If you have a child starting school in September 2023, we would like to invite you to attend one of our Open Days.  The session will consist of a talk from the Head of School, followed by a tour of the school.  They generally last around an hour and at this stage are recommended for parents only (children are invited along later in the year, as part of their transition programme).  If you would like to book onto one of the dates below, please contact the school office on 01794 340407 or email schooloffice@awbridge.uwinat.co.uk.  We look forward to welcoming you.
