Admissions

JOINING ST MICHAEL’S SCHOOL

APPLYING FOR A PLACE IN OUR RECEPTION CLASS

We admit pupils to school in the autumn of the academic year in which they become five.  All children may begin school full time. Children whose birthdays fall between April and August may remain part time until January if their parents wish.

Why not come and look around, the sooner the better, give us a ring to make an appointment.

From that initial visit you will be able to ascertain whether St Michael’s is the place for your child.  We are sure that you will like what you see.

Surrey Schools Admission Appeals Timetable 2021

Coronavirus: school appeals

The Department for Education has issued new guidance in relation to school admission appeals which took effect on 24 April 2020. Following discussions, Surrey County Council (SCC) has decided that school appeals will run audio appeals using a conference call system supplied by SCC. The exception to this is for multiple appeals for the same school and year group where stage 1 will be heard on paper and stage 2 by audio. Parents who have decided, or who wish to decide, for their appeal hearing to be heard on paper will still be heard in this way. This has been agreed in conjunction with SCC Legal team and is considered to be the fairest and most consistent way forward ensuring majority of appellants can participate. We are in discussions with schools to establish which schools are able to this.

Please note that some of these deadlines and the process for hearing appeals may change depending on the national situation as a result of COVID-19. You will be informed on a case by case basis.

Appeals for September 2021 resulting from year of entry or transfer applications – this relates to community and voluntary controlled schools only. Other schools may follow this timetable but you will need to check.
