Step 2: Visit Us

Discover the vibrant and joyful atmosphere at St Christopher’s by joining us at our termly Open Mornings in October, February and May or book a personal tour to experience our nurturing environment.

Step 3: Register Your Child

Once you have visited us and you have decided you would like to register your child, the next stage would be to complete our Registration Form and pay a non-refundable registration fee of £100.

This will register your child for a particular year group, although at this stage your place is not guaranteed. Once both the completed registration form and fee have been received, your application will be processed.

Step 4: Taster Session

For children joining Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, once registered and if a place is available, we will invite your child/children in for a taster session when we will carry out informal observations. For children joining us in Years 1–2 an age appropriate assessment will take place. We also request copies of a child’s most recent school report before their visit.

 

Step 5: Offer of a Place at St Christopher's

For children starting in our Nursery we will send out a formal offer and deposit requirements the year before your child is due to start with us.

For children joining the main school, following a successful visit, we’ll send a formal offer and deposit requirements in order to secure your child’s place.

To accept your child’s place, parents are asked to kindly complete our Acceptance Form (based on our Terms and Conditions). At this time parents are also requested to pay a deposit of £750 to secure your child’s place.

Step 6: Transition and Settling Opportunities

Joining St Christopher’s Nursery

As your child prepares to join our main Nursery, we’re dedicated to making their transition smooth and enjoyable. By offering the following settling-in process:

  1. Online Familiarisation Materials: Before your child’s official start date, you’ll receive online materials and captivating stories designed to familiarise your child with the upcoming adventure at St Christopher’s. These engaging resources pave the way for a positive introduction to our learning environment.
  2. Pre-Nursery Afternoon Settling-In Sessions: Attend our specially crafted Pre-Nursery afternoon settling-in sessions on Mondays. These sessions are an integral part of our comprehensive settling-in process, providing an opportunity for your child to become familiar with the new surroundings, meet their peers, and build early connections with our dedicated staff.

Joining St Christopher’s School at the beginning of the Autumn Term

During the Summer term your child will be invited to attend our whole school moving up morning which provides the opportunity to not only meet their new friends but also their teacher for the next academic year.

Embark on this journey with St Christopher’s, where every step is thoughtfully designed to ensure a seamless transition into our nurturing and enriching learning community. We look forward to welcoming your child into an environment where curiosity is cultivated, friendships flourish, and the love for learning begins.
