Holy Trinity C of E Primary School

Reception Admissions

About Reception

Holy Trinity is a two-form entry primary school, admitting 60 children to Reception each year.

Up to 30 of the 60 places per year are available to Foundation Place applicants (please see the Admissions Policy for more information).

How and When to Apply

The application deadline for families of children with dates of birth between 1 September 2016 and 31 August 2017 was 15th January 2021. If you wish to make a late application please contact Merton Admissions.

Applications are made on-line. Please see https://www.merton.gov.uk/education-and-learning/schools/admissions/primary/apply-for-a-reception-place-at-primary-school for more information.

Families wishing to apply just for an Open Place do not need to complete any other forms.

Families wishing to apply for a Foundation place (in addition to the Open Place application) must complete a Holy Trinity Supplementary Form (attached below) and return it to the school. Some churches pass completed forms directly to the school - please check your church's process with your minister. The deadline for completion of the Supplementary form has now passed, but forms may be submitted for late applications. These will be considered after the first round of allocations has been made.

We are aware that many local churches have been closed during the Covid-19 pandemic, meaning that families have been prevented from consistently attending church over the two year period required. Our governors have therefore written an addendum to our Admissions Policy (attached) which states that: "In the event that the church has been closed for public worship and has not provided alternative premises for that worship during the last 2 years, the requirement for attendance will only apply to the period when the church or alternative premises have been available for public worship".

Virtual Open Day

We are unfortunately not able to offer large group face-to-face open days this term due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but we have prepared a virtual open day presentation at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MZwBDQ2qIXb9VUKeZWRYS6tt7QN5XpJC/view?usp=sharing. The presentation is also attached to the bottom of this page in case this is easier to view.

We may be able to arrange individual tours of the school outside school hours for families in certain circumstances. Please contact our School Business Manager Samantha Joiner to request a tour (SBM@holytrinity.merton.sch.uk).
