Reception Admissions

When is a child eligible for Reception?

Children start Reception in the September after they turn 4 years old, so you need to make sure you have applied directly with Merton by their January closing date of the beginning of that same year.

How do I apply for a Reception place?

Merton administers all of the school’s admissions for Reception. They accept online applications for Reception places between September and mid-January each year for places in the following September.
