We will arrange for you to visit the School or Nursery and Preschool with your child(ren), meet with a member of the Junior School leadership team, and organise a tour of our facilities.

To apply for a place for your child(ren), we will require a completed application form and payment of the £150 fee to confirm your application. Mrs Tracey will then talk you through the assessment and interview process at Stamford Junior School.

If your child currently has additional learning requirements, please advise the Registrar ahead of your visit so that we can arrange a meeting with one of our experienced SENDco staff.

We have limited capacity in each year group for children with additional learning requirements and can offer advice and support throughout the application process. You can read more here.
