Admissions

 

We encourage you to visit our wonderful school and see our fantastic learning environment. Our school is an exciting and vibrant place where every pupil has a wide range of opportunities and learning experiences.

 

Tour Dates

We welcome all visits to the school whether your child is starting nursery, reception or mid-year.  All tours are with the Headteacher.

To reserve a date to visit Henry Fawcett Primary School, please contact the school office on 0207 735 2764 or email admin@henryfawcett.lambeth.sch.uk

 

Nursery

If your child is approaching the age of 3 years old you can apply for a part-time or full-time place for them in our Nursery. You should apply directly to the school when your child reaches the age of 2 years old. An application form must be completed and you should draw attention to any special reasons to support the application, for example if your child has medical needs. Parents can apply for their statutory free 15 hours of childcare and a 30 hour free place if eligible.

For the 30 hours free childcare, applicaitons should be made via the Direct Gov website: https://www.gov.uk/apply-30-hours-free-childcare
