The non-refundable registration fee of £100 may be paid by online transfer or by cheque made payable to All Hallows School.

When we receive your completed application form and have confirmation of the payment of the application fee, we will write to you acknowledging this and confirming that your child’s application has been registered.

We may ask you to supply us with recent copies of your child’s school reports (if applicable) at this stage if you have not already given us these.

Registration neither guarantees your child a place nor commits you taking a place up. It does, however, place your child’s name on our lists for entry subject to our standard admissions procedures and your acceptance of any place offered.

In the event of a year group being fully subscribed at the time of your application, we will place your child’s name on a waiting list and advise you to this effect.

In registering your child for a place at the school, you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions of the school.

This is your children's chance to experience life at All Hallows at first hand and to meet their peer groups.  We invite your children to join us for one or two taster days so they can really get to know what it is like to be part of our community.  If your child will be boarding, they are welcome to spend the night with us too. We will arrange with you the best time for these taster days to take place.

If your child is joining Year 3 or above, they will have a buddy (mentor) to show them around school and to make sure they know what to do at any stage throughout the day.

Children applying to join Year 1 or 2 are looked after by their class collectively during their taster days.

Children applying to join the Nursery or Reception classes will be invited to a taster session and where possible, our staff will visit them in their current setting.

We will be grateful for any information you can give us, prior to your child’s taster day, so that we can prepare for their visit. Please note, whilst your child does not need to pass an entrance test in order to be offered a place at All Hallows, we do need to ensure that they will be able to access our curriculum and flourish as they make their way up through the school.  As such, your child may have an assessment with our Learning Support staff whilst they are with us.

Following the taster days, our admissions team will collate the feedback from the staff involved in your child’s visit and discuss this with you. As ever, you are welcome to ask further questions at this stage. Typically, this will be followed by an offer of a place for your child.

All offers of places are subject to ongoing receipt of satisfactory reports and references.

An offer of a place is accepted by completing an 'acceptance form', agreeing to the school's terms and conditions, and sending this to the Head of Admissions together with payment of the acceptance deposit of £500.

An application form is also required, together with the application fee of £100, if this has not been completed at an earlier stage.

When we receive your completed acceptance form and payment of the relevant deposit together with application fee of £150, we will acknowledge this and confirm your child’s place.
