Admissions

Casual admissions throughout the year

When parents move into the area or wish to change their child’s school, they should contact The London Borough of Ealing, for an application form, parents will be advised whether a place is available in a particular year group.

If a place is available, the family will be invited to visit the school to speak to the office, you will be given the relevant paperwork and informed of the routines of the school day.

Where parents or carers are planning to remove their child from the school, the Head Teacher should be informed as soon as the parent has been offered a new school and the parents must complete a school leaver’s form. Information about the child will then be passed on to the new school.

We also offer places to nursery children, where there are spaces, to children, the term after they become 3 years old, Nursery 1.

Places are allocated by the school. Where there are more applications than places we will use the same guidance the Local Authority uses when allocation school places.

To apply for a nursery place, parents are asked to collect an application form for Dormers Wells from the office, complete and return it with the child’s birth certificate or passport and proof of address.
