Joining Stanhope in Reception:
Children start in Reception the September after their fourth birthday.
If your child was born between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022 then they are due to start the first year of primary school (Reception Class) in September 2026.
You must apply directly to the council that you are living in at the time of application, regardless of the borough which the school is in.
The deadline for applying for primary school is 15th January 2026. Applications received after this date are late and will not be considered until after national offer day.
The national offer day for on time applicants is 16th April 2026.
If you live in the borough of Ealing, you can apply via Ealing Council’s website, or go directly to Apply for a primary school place or Ealing Primary School Admissions
The Council’s website gives full and clear advice on the whole process. If you need extra help to complete your application, please contact the school’s admin team on 020 8575 9989 or the school office.
If your child has been offered a school place, you will receive an invitation to visit the school together before the end of July. In the event of any periods of school closures, this will be done virtually.
Admissions during the school year or to other year groups:
