Admissions

Book a tour

Thank you for considering The Mall School for your son or daughter. It’s small and friendly, with a consistently strong academic achievements and fantastic art, music and sports facilities, which we would be delighted to show you on a tour.  Our Year 6 pupils usually take visitors on the school tours, which last about 20 minutes, and afterwards you’d be welcome to meet our headmaster, Mr Sam Gosden, who can answer any of your questions or queries about the school.   Find out more about visiting us.  We look forward to meeting you.

Reception admissions

Most children join The Mall in Reception, aged 4.  In September 2023 we welcomed our first girls into the school and from Autumn 2024, girls have joined Reception, Years 1 and 2.  The move to co-educational is well underway and will be complete by 2028.

Flexible, rolling admissions to other year groups

Children are welcome to join us in other year groups, subject to availability of places. Entry is competitive and registered children are invited to come into school for our Discovery Day. This event is full of fun team-building activities, art workshops, in-class learning and an informal assessment.  They will then be invited to come in on a normal school day (Taster Day) so that they can experience everyday school life and envisage how they would fit in with their new classmates.  In turn, we have plenty of time to get to know them in both classroom and social environments.

We welcome applications for year groups either at the start or mid-way through the school year.

If you have any admissions queries, please contact the Admissions team by email or call 0208 614 1082.

Wraparound care

We run Breakfast and Homework Clubs at the start and end of the school day, to help busy working parents with their work life balance.  Every term we also offer around 30 co-curricular clubs each week, with 60% free of charge to parents.   Ranging from 3D printing to dance, ceramics to debating, there is a wide variety to choose from!  Find out more about after school clubs.
