We accept pupils into all year groups, but our main points of entry are Nursery (for the age of 2 upwards), Reception and Year 3.
Following your initial enquiry, a member of our admissions team will be in touch to find out more about you and your child and answer any initial questions you may have. They can then arrange a personal tour of the school with Mr Brewer, the Head of School, at a time that is convenient for you.
Your tour will provide you with an excellent insight into the caring and friendly environment we provide for our pupils. You will be able to see our teachers in action and ask questions you may have about the school day, curriculum and/or facilities.
In order to apply for a place at Stratford Preparatory School we ask for our registration form to be completed and returned along with the payment of our non-refundable registration fee.
In conjunction with the registration form, we ask what you provide us with a copy of your child's latest school report, a contact at your child's current setting from whom to request a school reference and any other supplementary information that you would like to include about your child.
Once registered, your child will be invited to spend the day with us. There really is no better way for your child to get a real feel for our school than to spend the day with us. We will place them in a class with their prospective peers and they will experience a day in the life of a Stratford Preparatory School pupil.
If your child's application to join Stratford Preparatory School is successful, an offer letter will be sent to you with our terms and conditions.
Places are confirmed once you have accepted your place, returned the terms and conditions and paid the required deposit.
