Admissions

Whether you are searching for a nurturing early years setting or a dynamic prep school, The Roche School offers a unique combination of strong academic foundations, caring pastoral support, and a warm, community-centred environment.

We are delighted that you are considering The Roche School and Nursery for your family. We welcome children aged 2 to 11 years, with most pupils joining us in Nursery or Reception. Occasional places may also be available for older year groups, depending on availability. Our Admissions Team is here to support you from your first enquiry through to your child’s first day.

1. Visit Us – The best way to understand our school is to come and see us in person. You can book a School Tour or a Taster Session for you and your child. This gives you a chance to meet our wonderful pupils and incredible staff, drop in on lessons and experience the atmosphere for yourself.

2. Submit an Application – To apply for a place in Nursery or Reception (or another year group), complete our Application Form. A non-refundable registration fee applies: £75 for the first child and £20 for each sibling.

3. Taster Day or Report (if applicable) – For children applying for Years 1–6 mid-year or for occasional places, we invite them for a taster day. We also request a copy of their most recent school report.

4. Secure the Place – Once an offer is made, secure your child’s place by paying the deposit.

5. Join Welcome Events – Before your child starts, we invite new families to meet classmates and teachers, collect information packs, and familiarise themselves with school routines, uniform, and term dates. This ensures a smooth, confident start at The Roche School.

Our team is always ready to answer your questions, offer guidance, and support your family through each stage of the application. Please contact our Admissions Team by email or phone to begin your journey with us.
