Children join our Pre-School in the September that they have turned age 3.
There are 40 spaces to fill in our Pre-School for each academic year – the biggest intake of children into one year group at Edge Grove. Click here for more information about Edge Grove Pre-School.
At our 3+ Assessment we invite children to participate in a number of age-appropriate activities in small groups, split by age. During the 30-minutes session the children are observed by our teaching staff and offers of places are made on the basis of this assessment.
Pre-School entry in September 2022
Our 3+ Assessment is on Friday 4th March 2022. The deadline for registering your child with Edge Grove is Monday 21st February 2022.
How can I apply for a place in Pre-School?
Stage 1
Contact Mrs Joanna Morrison, Director of Marketing and Admissions, for an initial conversation and to add your child’s details to our list for Pre-School entry.
Step 2
Arrange to visit Edge Grove to tour the school. You can visit at our Open Mornings or alternatively we offer small group tours of the Pre Prep and Pre-School during the term, led by Mrs Gill Emmerson, Head of Pre Prep. These tours must be pre-booked with Admissions so please contact Mrs Joanna Morrison by emailing admissions@edgegrove.com or calling 01923 855724.
Step 3
Following your visit, you will need to register your child for a place at Edge Grove. You can download the registration form below and post it or email it to Admissions. The non-refundable £100 registration fee can be paid via cheque or bank transfer and the details are on the registration form.
Step 4
You’ll be invited to attend the 3+ Assessment for your child’s year group and beforehand we will also contact your child’s current Nursery (if applicable) for their confidential feedback. The 3+ Assessment takes place in March prior to starting later that same year in Pre-School.
Step 5
Following the assessment, if your child is offered a place you will be asked to accept it within two weeks by paying the non-returnable £2,000 deposit to secure the place. Your child may be added to a waiting list and you will be notified if/when a space becomes available.
