How to apply

Fill in online application form as soon as your child is born and they have a name. They will be placed on the waiting list of the school you have selected.This is free.

While doing this gets it off your 'to do' list, it doesn't give you priority admission. Our admissions criteria are based on those that primary and secondary schools use. Find out more on the Admissions page.

When we offer places:

Most children leave us when they 'graduate' from us and go to primary school in July, so most of our places become available in September. We start our admissions process for September just before the Easter holiday.

School visits

Please get to know all about our schools by coming to our stay and play sessions, Visiting Day. If you can't make them, call the school to arrange a short visit round the building - we will do our best to tell you as much as you want to know, but it might have to be quick if we are teaching at the time....

We offer adults and young people:

placements for students training for a variety of Early Years qualifications, including School Direct and PGCE teacher training, BTEC, NVQ and CACHE
work experience for school students from Waltham Forest secondary schools and sixth form colleges
volunteer placements for parents and members of the local community
