Reception Admissions

When is a child eligible for Reception?

Children start Reception in the September after they turn 4 years old, so you need to make sure you have applied directly with Merton by their January closing date of the beginning of that same year.

How do I apply for a Reception place?

Merton administers all of the school’s admissions for Reception. They accept online applications for Reception places between September and mid-January each year for places in the following September. 

Foundation Places (Church Places)
If you are a regular church goer, you maybe eligible to apply for one of our Foundation Places. To apply for a Foundation Place, please make sure you also download below and fill out the 'Reception Application Foundation Place Supplementary Form', making sure section 5 is filled out and signed by your Priest or Minister and return this directly to the school.
