Register your child

To proceed with your application, please complete the registration form and pay the £95 registration fee to register your child for The Mall School.

Attend a Taster Day at school

Your child will be invited to attend a school Taster Day, which gives them a chance to enjoy a typical day at The Mall, meet their new classmates and teacher, participate in sports or swimming and eat a delicious school lunch in the dining room.

They will also take an informal assessment which allows us to benchmark them against the national average for a child of the same age; the results of these assessments will not dictate whether an offer is made and are just used to assess how we can support your child.

Accept the offer of a place

Once families are sent an offer, they should complete the acceptance form and pay the deposit to accept the place.

Entry to the Nursery

Applications for Nursery places can be made at any time from birth onwards and all applicants will be placed on a waiting list. Girls and boys may start in the Nursery from 6 months. Early registration is recommended.

All children in the Nursery are automatically offered an unconditional place in the Reception class at The Mall School.

Flexible rolling admissions to other year groups

We welcome applications for year groups either at the start or mid-way through the school year.  As well as having small intakes at 7+ and 8+ into Years 3 and 4, we are happy to accept registrations for boys and girls to join us in other year groups and places are offered after your child has attended a successful taster session. Make an initial enquiry about entry to other year groups.

Leaders promote a culture of tolerance so that pupils of all ages are supported to understand how everyone is different and to show empathy towards everyone, no matter their background.
