Kindergarten Admissions Guide 2025

What does the Ibstock Kindergarten Process involve? CLOSING DATE FOR REGISTRATION: 30 AUGUST 2024

STAY AND PLAY SESSION

Saturday 14 September 2024

All registered applicants are invited to attend our Stay and Play session on Saturday 14 September. You will be allocated a one hour slot during which you and your child can explore the Pre-Prep facilities. Stimulating activities for children to enjoy will be set up both in the classroom and the outside area. There will be an opportunity to visit our wonderful Bluebell Woods and join in with some exciting Forest School activities. Teachers will be on hand to talk to parents and answer questions as well as to engage with the children. All children who attend the Stay and Play session will be entered into the ballot. Siblings of current pupils who attend the session are guranteed a place in one of our two Kindergarten classes. The other places will be allocated via the ballot.

We have approximately 40 places available for external candidates each year, split evenly between boys and girls. Children join us in Kindergarten from a wide range of local day nurseries and nursery schools. Applicants who have been offered a place on the waiting list following the entrance process will remain on the list until the new academic year starts in September. If no place has been offered by this time, applicants are welcome to move their registration forward for occasional place entry into Prep 1.
