Step 1 | Enquiry & Tour
Children can start Reception the September after their fourth birthday.
Sign up to an Open event or a smaller and more personal weekday tour. Parents will be offered a follow up meeting with our Head of Prep. Contact a member of the Admissions Team on: 020 8185 7770
Choosing a school is a significant decision for your whole family. Our aim is that you leave with a clear understanding of our strong academic standards, and how our character development approach underpins and strengthens every aspect of school life.
Step 2 | Application
Use our online application form to begin your child’s journey with Fidelis College.
Step 3 | Assessment Day and Parent Interview
At Reception entry, our approach is designed to give us a genuine understanding of your family and your child as an individual. There are two steps to our assessment process:
Parent interview: We believe parents are the prime educators of their children, therefore you will be invited to a parent interview so we can learn more about your family, your child and the hopes you hold for them.
Child centred: We also visit children at their current nursery and speak with their key worker to gain a broader picture of their development. This approach is proven to make the transition from nursery to school seamless. A written reference will also be requested.
If your child does not attend nursery, or if a visit is not possible, we will arrange an alternative opportunity to spend time with them in our school environment.
Step 4 | Offer & Enrolment
After the assessment process, we reflect carefully on each child. If a place is available and we believe Fidelis Prep is the right environment for your child to flourish both personally and academically, we will be in touch with a formal offer.
Families who accept a place will then be invited to meet the class teacher and children will be invited to attend taster mornings, ensuring your child feels known and confident for their first day of school.
