Nursery registration and general information

If you wish your child to be considered for a place in the nursery class you should register the child’s details when the child is two years of age.

For more information see: Nursery Education in Kingston upon Thames 2010This link will open in a new window/tab.Portable Document Format (PDF) Document. This link will open in a new window/tab.

Should you be considering sending your child to the nursery/main school then please contact our secretary to arrange a visit.

Children commence school in the year in which they become five years of age, for example – children born between 1 September 2005 and 31 August 2006, are due to start primary school (reception class) in September 2010.

Registration does not guarantee a place in either the nursery or school. Admissions are dealt with strictly in accordance with the criteria laid down in the boroughs’ admissions policy.

A general information meeting will be held one evening during the Summer term prior to your child commencing main school.

All children have an opportunity to visit the school towards the end of term prior to the term of entry.

Special Needs

School is a learning environment in which we support and encourage each child to reach his/her full potential. Each child will do this as an individual, but also as part of a larger social group. Therefore, each child must learn to relate and interact with others. We will always have regard for the efficient use of resources for all the children in the school. If any one child is deemed to be making excessive use of these resources, the school will instigate urgent discussion with the appropriate LA service and the parents with a view to provision for that child.

Behavioural Special Needs

The welfare and educational progress of all children in our school is of paramount importance. If a child develops significant behavioural problems parents will be notified early on, and agreed behavioural remedies will be implemented. In extreme circumstances a child could be excluded from part or all of the school day.

Children With Special Needs

This term covers a wide variety of possible problems.

  • Special learning difficulties
  • Physical disability
  • Speech, hearing or sight impairment
  • Behavioural, emotional and social problems
  • Under achievement of children with possible high potential

Such children’s progress is closely monitored. All children with specific learning difficulties are assessed: given a work programme, and when possible will receive additional help from a support teacher or ancillary helper.
