Admissions
The Tapscott Learning Trust and the governing bodies therein have adopted the London Borough of Newham as the Admission Authority for this school, who organise all admissions centrally. Application forms are available online or through contacting the council 020 8430 2000.
We currently have spaces in our school. For admission information please see below or contact
Mrs Lepa Rahman, our Office Manager at 0208 534 4364.
Nursery Admissions
If you would like to place your child on our waiting list please come into the school office. Children can be put on the Nursery waiting list from the age of two and, depending on availability of places, will usually start the term after their 3rd birthday.
When a place becomes available for your child you will be invited to a parents meeting where you will be given a welcome pack and have a chance to meet the staff and look around the Nursery. We will then invite you and your child to come in for a taster session in the Nursery and you will then be given a start date.
During your child’s first week in Nursery they have a slightly shorter session to allow them time to settle. Each child is different and our Nursery staff will be flexible to each individual child’s needs.
Please remember that the allocation of a Nursery place does not guarantee a school place and this has to be applied for separately through Pupils Services (details below).
