Children may join Pilgrims at any point from 3 months to 7 years. Once you have decided you would like your child to join us (following a visit to the school), please contact our Admissions team (admissions@pilgrims-school.org.uk) to request access to our online registration form.
Once the registration form is submitted, and following receipt of the £125 registration fee (plus VAT for Main School admissions), your child’s name will be placed on the provisional register for entry into the room or year group of choice, on your proposed start date.
Prior to full enrolment, your child will be invited to attend a pre-enrolment visit with their appropriate peer group. After a successful visit, you will be asked to complete the enrolment paperwork and pay the £500 deposit. Once this paperwork is received and acknowledged by us, your child’s place is confirmed.
There is no entrance exam or selection process, but children joining in Year 1 or Year 2, will be invited to spend some time with us before a place is confirmed.
Places can fill quickly therefore early registration is advisable. It is important for parents to note that priority is given for places within our Reception year group to those children who already attend our Pre School. Please contact the school’s Registrar for further details on this process.
