Once you have finalised your decision, we ask you to complete our Registration Form and submit a non-refundable fee of £75. Your child will then be recorded as a Registered Pre-Admissions pupil.

Entry into Nursery follows the order of registration, with priority given to siblings of enrolled pupils. Nursery entrants are expected to progress through the school.

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 Tuesdays and Thursdays. 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.

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.

Spaces in Other Year Groups

At St Christopher’s School, we recognise the importance of continuity in education. As our Nursery pupils progress through the school, we prioritise a smooth transition into the next phase of their academic journey.

For Existing Nursery Pupils: Pupils currently attending our Nursery are seamlessly transitioned into one of our Reception Classes, ensuring a familiar and supportive environment as they advance through the school.

For External Applicants: Entry for external applicants is based on the order of registration, with a special emphasis on prioritising siblings of current enrolled pupils.

Opportunities for Reception Places: We welcome interest from external families for Reception places, and a small number of positions may be available. These places are usually offered during the Spring term prior to your child joining Reception in September.

Year 1 and Year 2 Availability: In certain circumstances, a small number of places may become available in Year 1 and Year 2 due to the relocation of current families. This provides an opportunity for new pupils to join our school community.

For enquiries about availability and to explore these opportunities, please contact the Admissions Team.
