Whether you’re moving to the area, starting your child’s nursery journey, looking for a new school, or already part of the local community, we are delighted to receive your application.
Our Admissions Manager, Sue Townsend, is always happy to help and guide you through the process. You can speak with her directly by phone, email or in person meeting:
The main point of entry to Gatehouse School is in our Nursery class. Children may join in the September following their third birthday.
All children in Nursery automatically move into Reception the following year. As a result, Reception places are not typically open for external application. Any enquiries for Reception will be added to our Waiting List.
