Admissions

“The school's Christian ethos, centred on valuing each person, is lived out daily in the school community.”ISI Report, January 2023

The Admissions Process

Our admissions process is designed to ensure that our school is the best fit for your child and that we can meet their needs and those of our existing pupils. You should expect the process to take a minimum of 4 weeks to complete.

You can read our Admissions Policy but we have summarised the process below for our standard entry points into Year R and Year 7 - a different approach is followed for a "non standard" entry which will be provided to you at the Enquiry Stage.

‍

Enquiry Stage

Completion of online Admission Enquiry Form
Telephone discussion with our Admissions Team
Provide any request documents (e.g. last school report)
Meet the Headteacher and SENDCo if appropriate, and tour the school

Once all steps have been completed, the Admissions Team will discuss with you whether we feel that it is appropriate to continue to the Application Stage. The decision to proceed is ultimately at the discretion of the Leadership Team.

Application Stage

Completion of the Application form and payment of Application Fee (currently £60)
References are then taken - these are current school/pre-school and normally your Church
Completion of two taster days. pre-school pupils may be visited in their current setting
We may request that your child complete additional taster days (which may be at an additional cost) to ensure that both the School and you are happy that we are the best setting for your child
Admissions Team collate feedback from all staff that have been involved and ensure that references have been received.

At the end of the taster days the next step would be one of the following:

An additional day in which baseline assessments are carried out and then move on to Onboarding; or
A decision is made that the School is not the best setting for your child

Onboarding Stage

"Anyone considering The King’s School for their children, will be making the best decision they have ever made for their academic, spiritual, emotional and social growth. Both my children attended the school and I have no doubt that the environment and staff played a key role in their development to encounter and thrive in the world."

Mrs Pole

"My son joined The King’s School in Year 2. The teachers, right from the start, identified his needs and made recommendations to assist him – provided us with guidance and support throughout, which made such a huge difference to my son who needed both behavioural and educational support"

Mrs Hamilton

"We've been part of The King’s School family for 7 years. We've seen our children grow in stature, maturity and their own personal faith. At no other school will you ever be given a prophetic word or verse of Scripture for your child! They're loved, cherished and valued by ALL the staff as if they were their own children."

Mrs Boxall

"The King’s School has been a huge blessing to us and our children. They love learning here, they love the teachers, they love the atmosphere. We’d recommend it to anyone."

Mr Hicks

"The King’s School's been an amazing experience for not only our children, but for our entire family. The school welcomed our family when we moved to the area, other parents and children were incredibly supportive and kind, and we instantly felt at home."

Mrs Shergill

"The King’s School is beautiful, inside and out! Every day our daughter learns so much more than just phonics and maths, she learns who she is and what she can do as an individual, and this school not only allows her to do this but encourages and supports her in every aspect."

Mrs Price

"The King's School is incredible. The staff are amazing and really care about & know all the children so well. Our girls have come on in leaps & bounds since joining. We love the atmosphere and the whole ethos. Couldn't imagine them being anywhere else now. "

Mrs Mullane

"Fantastic School. I have 1 in senior in his last year, and 2 in primary. The communication between staff and parents is very good. The kindness shown by staff throughout the primary school clearly inspires the pupils to emulate this towards each other. Highly Recommended."
