Welcome to Admissions
Choosing the right school for your child is a big decision and it is our pleasure to help you through that process as much as possible. We invite all prospective families to visit us during a working school day. Visits generally take place during term time, at either 9.00am or 11.00am, but we have the flexibility to agree on a mutually convenient date and time. If you would like to make an appointment to see the school and have an informal chat and tour with our Admissions Team or Headmaster, please email admissions@stfaiths.co.uk or call us on 01223 229421.
We also host ‘Pop-in & Play’ sessions on various dates throughout the year, for younger children interested in Preschool or Reception. Dates for Pop-in & Play sessions in the Summer term are:
17 June
We currently have places available in our Preschool (age 3+). Children may join from the start of the half term or full term following their third birthday.

Start of Second Half of Summer Term: Monday 1 June 2026
Start of Autumn (Michaelmas) Term: Monday 7 September 2026
We have limited places for Reception (age 4+), September 2026 entry (for children born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022), Apply now. We also have limited availability across other year groups. The deadline to apply is 4 May 2026.
