Woodford Green Preparatory School

Admissions Procedure

Choosing the right school for your child is clearly a very important decision, with many factors to take into consideration. We offer you a range of information here on our website which we hope will help you in your decision making process. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Pupils usually join WGPS at 3+ and 7+

However, occasionally spaces in other year groups become available, so it is always worth contacting us to find out if any spaces are available. You can also register your child's name online so that if a space does become available the Registrar can contact you to let you know.

Here is our basic step by step guide to applying for a place at Woodford Green Preparatory School:

• Sign up for an Open Event.
• Complete the registration form online (a £75 registration fee is required). This may be submitted at any time once the estimated date of birth is known. (NB: completion of a registration form does not guarantee a place).
• If your child is joining us in Year 3 they will be required to sit our 7+ assessment.
• If a place is offered, you are asked to pay an acceptance deposit, or decline the offer by the deadline date.

Submit your application

If you decide that Woodford Green Preparatory School is the right school for your child, you have until Friday 16th February to submit your application form.

Please review our admissions policy and note that pupils who are working ‘on track’ with us, are working above the national curriculum expectations for a Year 2 pupil. At WGPS we have a bespoke tracking system for all pupils and discuss the pupils academic, social and emotional progress during termly meetings with the Deputy Head, Assistant Head, Learning Skills Leader and class teachers.

Please also include in your application if your child plays a musical instrument so that we can inform our Director of Music so that they are available during the assessment day. We will also request a reference from your child’s school and a copy of their latest report in advance of the assessment day.

There is an application fee of £100 which is non-refundable and payable at the point of application.

If you are applying for an Assisted Place, application forms for September entry and all documents need to be emailed to: admin@schoolbursaryguide.com by the second Friday in December.

Telephone 01622 725712 or email admin@schoolbursaryguide.com for all queries.
