Admissions

Joining Forest Park Prep School

There is one main point of entry into the school at 3+ (Pre Prep class), although we occasionally have vacancies in other year groups. If you are interested in a Pre Prep place at the School for your child, we urge you to apply very early as our small class sizes mean that our available places fill quickly.

Interested families may request a prospectus by completing our online form. Following your visit, we may ask your child to complete a taster session/day. Offers for places at the school are made following this.

When your child is offered a place at the school, a completed Admissions Form should be sent, along with a deposit of £500 (refundable when your child leaves Forest Park), to the school office.

The receipt of your completed form and full deposit confirms acceptance and will close the place to other pupils.

Our Admissions Process

Make an Enquiry

We invite you to contact Mrs Howatt via office@forestparkprep.co.uk or via our enquiry form. She will be able to discuss the next steps in our admissions process, and will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have at this stage.

Visit the School and Meet with Mr Tucker

We invite anyone interested in finding out more about Forest Park to visit us, tour our school and meet with the Head, Mr Tucker. In the meeting, you will be able to discuss the needs of your child and ask questions about how Forest Park can help nurture and develop your child’s talents and abilities. Depending on which year group your child would be joining, we will also ensure you meet relevant members of our team. We will also offer your child a taster session with the class they would be joining.

Registration

Following a meeting with Mr Tucker, we will invite you to register for a place at Forest Park. For children who are joining Early Years, we will ask for a contact at your child’s current school or nursery, whilst for pupils who are joining Year 1 and above, we will ask for a recent school report and a reference from your child’s current school.

Offer and Acceptance

Once we have reviewed the information provided, we will be able to confirm whether we are able to offer a place for your child. We will then send a formal offer letter together with our Terms and Conditions, which you will need to sign and agree to in order to accept a place.

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our School.

Open Events

We also hold a number of events for prospective parents throughout the year. We will shortly update this page with details of our next Open Morning, but you are welcome to register your interest (please click here) and complete the form; we will get in touch nearer the time.

Reception & Year 3 Places Available

If you are interested in a Reception or Year 3  place for 2024, we would be delighted to invite you to Forest Park Prep to meet our headmaster and staff, tour our facilities and experience the lovely environment that we all share at Forest Park.
