Welcome to Admissions

Welcome to Spring Grove School Admissions and thank you for your interest in our school. Our aim is always to help and support you with your enquiry, and to make the best choice for your child.

We strongly encourage all prospective families to come and visit us, to see for themselves what gives Spring Grove its happy, family feel, and to see the school in action.

If you have any questions about arranging a visit to Spring Grove, or applying for a place, you can contact us directly via WhatsApp.

Book a TourRegister for Open Day
Spring Grove meets all of our wish list - the warm familial environment, the beautiful setting and facilities, the breadth of activities and resources available and the all round creative, physical and academic focus. We toured a number of nurseries and schools and Spring Grove stood out head and shoulders above the rest.

How to apply - the admissions journey

1 Registration

The first stage of our admissions process is to complete a registration form and pay the (non-returnable) registration fee. This reserves a place for your child in their prospective year group, subject to availability. Completing a registration form does not commit you to a place at Spring Grove, nor does it guarantee an offer of a place, but you do need to register for your child to be assessed for entry into the school.

 

2 Offer and Deposit

Once registration is complete, we ask all children from Reception upwards to come in for a taster day (or a taster session for younger children), to meet the pupils and teachers and get a feel for Spring Grove. The taster is also an opportunity for us to make an informal assessment of prospective pupils. To accept an offer of a place at Spring Grove, we require acceptance of the School Parent Contract and payment of a deposit which is refundable when the child leaves Spring Grove.

3 Waiting Lists

We may have waiting lists for some year groups, and I will be able to inform you when you enquire about availability of places. It is advisable to register early whenever possible, particularly for places in our Teddies (2-3 year olds) class in the Nursery.

We still have places available in Teddies for 2027-8. We have a waiting list for the pre-school Giraffes class – please enquire. We are accepting registrations from September 2028 onwards.
