The admissions process should be an enjoyable and interesting experience for both you and your child.
Our pupils, as well as our staff, enjoy welcoming new children, from their assessment day to when they join us.
Mrs Tracey is your contact for all admission enquiries to Nursery through to Year 6 at Stamford Junior School.
Mrs Julie Tracey
Nursery and Junior School Registrar
Mrs Tracey will arrange for you to visit the school with your child(ren), meet with our Head Mr O’Reilly and to see the campus of our school and nursery for yourself. We have Open Days or Discovery Mornings that might be suitable or she can arrange for a personal tour if more suitable.
The admissions process should be an enjoyable and interesting experience for both you and your child. Mrs Tracey will ensure you and your family are looked after from your first enquiry to the day that your child joins us.
Next we will invite your child in to spend the day with us for an Assessment Visit.
Our Nursery team will liaise directly with you once your application has been made. They will then work to ensure planned visits and taster sessions are organised at suitable times for your family.
These visits are a wonderful way to ease your child into the setting and also allow you time to ask any further questions.
For the youngest children, we will observe them whilst playing with others, whilst the older children will be assessed in Maths, English and Writing.
These assessments are online, and we use them alongside reports from their current school to build up an accurate picture of your child’s progress to date, without overwhelming them.
To confirm your application you must submit a completed application form and pay the £100 application fee.
