Admissions

Boys join WCPS in the September following their fourth birthday. We ask for a report from their nursery school and spend time getting to know your son before we offer a place. We hope that this will help us to discover if our school will be a good match for your son and that we believe he will flourish here.

We understand that choosing the right school for your son can seem like a daunting process and as it is such an important decision, we aim to make it as easy a journey as possible.

Joining Reception

Admission is at 4 years old into Reception.

Registrations are accepted from birth, as soon as the birth certificate is available. Please complete the registration form, this can be downloaded by clicking the link on the right hand side of the page, and paying online the registration fee of £150. Please return this form along with the birth certificate to info@wcps.org.uk or via the post.

Our 4+ 'Getting to Know You' Process

Our entry process is academically selective and held in a friendly, nursery-style environment, with activities designed to enable the child to relax and be themselves. At 4+ we are looking for potential, rather than what has already been learnt. The sessions covers language and social skills, number, physical and creative skills.

Boys will be invited to a 'Getting to Know You' session, 18 months before they are due to begin Reception.

All children entering WCPS will be preparing for entry to their future schools at age 7+.
