Admission to Quainton Hall School Nursery

We positively encourage prospective parents to come and visit the School before registering their child.   We have two Saturday Open Mornings in May and October or parents can contact the Admissions’ Secretary to arrange an appointment with the Headmaster and tour of the school during the working week.  

We accept children into our Nursery from the age of 2½ - 4 years. The Nursery Prospectus is available to read on the School Website and the Application Form can also be printed off from the website.   The Application Form needs to be completed fully and signed by both parents and returned to Quainton Hall School.   The Nursery year begins in September and we normally have approximately 20 places available, these places are offered to children who will be aged 2½ + and have been on our waiting list. Although the Nursery does not have Open Days we advise parents to call the School and make an appointment to visit the Nursery.

Assessment Procedure

The School Prospectus is available to read on the School Website and the Registration Form can also be printed off the website.   We ask that the Registration Form is completed fully and signed by both parents.   Although we do not have an official closing date for applications we do advise that registrations for our September 2011 Reception Class are received at the school by 2nd December 2011.  

Reception – by Assessment, children are placed into groups of 5 according to their age.   These assessments are held at the end of January in the year that the children are due to start. We also request a written report from the child’s Nursery School.   The assessments are held in our Pre-Prep Department and involve several of our Pre-Prep staff 

Prep 3 and Prep 6 – by Assessment and Interview, we also request a copy of the child’s most recent School Report from their current school.

Entry to the school in other years is also by Assessment/Interview parents can complete a Registration Form and go on our waiting list.

In all circumstances letters offering a place at the school will be sent out to parents within one week of their child having an assessment, replies are normally required within 10 working days.
