Finding the right school for your child is a difficult decision. There are many sources of information available to assist you. You can find out more information about admissions arrangements to maintained schools on the local authority website.
You can also get in touch with the school at any time if you would like more information. Simply call Claire Bush- our Admissions, Attendance and Welfare Assistant in the school office if you would like to ask any questions or email: admissions@thealdgateschool.org
We are pleased to announce that we will be holding a number of parent tours over the next few months, so keep an eye on this page or call our office for dates or to arrange a visit. We would love to meet you and show you around our wonderful school.
We hope you will be able to find much of the information you need about our school from our website. We have also posted a couple of videos for you to watch and get a feel for what we are like.
You can download the slides we show at the Open Day here and learn a little more about the school. Please note, if your child is in Nursery, they MUST apply for a place in Reception. Children do not automatically transfer from Investigators to Inventors.
Nursery Admissions
Children may attend the Nursery class from the beginning of the school year after their 3rd birthday. The application forms for Nursery Admission are out from 1st September each year. The deadline for applications to be made is 15th February, a month later than Reception. We have various places in our Nursery- some City of London places for workers and residents and governors places. You can find out more by downloading the policy below.
Reception Admissions
Children may be admitted to primary schools at the beginning of the school year after their fourth birthday. Applications open in September each year and you will need to submit a completed common application form directly to your Local Authority by 15th January.
The process for applying for a primary school place is joined up across all 33 London local authorities. This means that you only use one application form to apply for up to six schools regardless of where the schools are located.
You can apply online by using the eAdmissions website, which opens for applications in September and is accessible right up until midnight on 15 January. You can also apply in writing by requesting a paper form from the City of London Schools Admissions Service by calling 020 7332 1750.
You may also need to complete a supplementary information form if you are applying to The Aldgate School.
In Year Admissions
If you are applying for a place at The Aldgate School during the school year or to join a different year group, you will need to complete an online in year application form. Please follow the link below. Supplementary forms must be completed if you meet Criteria 2, 3 and 4 and returned to the school office.
