Offering a place

For Reception entry, we will offer places for registrations received by the 30th April of the year preceding the September entry point. Parents will have until July to accept or decline the place. When our maximum number of registrations has been reached, we will update this section and inform you that any additional registrations will be placed on a waiting list. If places become available, offers will then be sent out , in date order of registration.

For non-Reception entry, if a place is available, your daughter will be invited to the school for an informal assessment before any offer is made. This assessment helps us understand her academic fit within the year group and determine the appropriate level for her initial learning. This ensures we can support her development and success should she join us at The Study.

Accepting our offer and joining us

For entry to all year groups, we ask for a deposit of half a term’s fees, to be paid by the date stated in the offer letter.

Withdrawing your acceptance of a place before your child starts at the school 

If you wish to withdraw your acceptance of a place before your child starts at the school, you must either give us a term’s notice or pay a term’s fees in lieu of notice. If we receive a term’s notice, you will lose your deposit, but no further fees will be payable.

We know starting school can be an anxious time for families – our aim is to make the transition as smooth and happy as possible. We offer opportunities for your daughter to spend some time with us in school, prior to starting, and host numerous parent events to help make you feel part of our community as soon as possible.
