Most children join Garden House in the September after they reach four years of age (4+), joining our Reception classes. Children can also join our Kindergarten (3+) and there is a small intake of boys at 8+.
As a first step we encourage you to come and visit the school on one of our Open Mornings. The Open Mornings give prospective parents the opportunity to see the School in action on a normal school day and to meet the Heads. To view and attend any of the upcoming open morning for 2026-2027 please view below.

The application form should be submitted along with the application fee. Once received, we will send you a postal acknowledgement confirming your child’s name has been placed on the Interview List.
Approximately one year before your child’s designated year of entry our registrars will contact you to invite you and your child to an interview. Parents are encouraged to attend an open morning before their child is invited for interview. Offers of places at Garden House School will be made after the interviews have taken place.

Garden House operates a sibling policy, giving priority to girls and boys who already have siblings in the School. Occasionally, places become available on an ad hoc basis for children further up the School. Please contact our Registrar, Miss Anna Chambers by email admissions@gardenhouseschool.co.uk
The best way to experience Garden House School is to visit us in person and see our vibrant community in action. Our Open Mornings provide an excellent opportunity to explore the school, meet members of our leadership team and teaching staff, and gain a genuine insight into daily life at Garden House School.
During your visit, you will have the chance to tour our facilities, observe lessons and discover the wide range of opportunities available to our pupils both inside and outside the classroom. Open Mornings also offer time to ask questions and learn more about our approach to education, pastoral care and the admissions process.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family and sharing what makes Garden House School such a special place to learn and grow. To request a visit, simply open your preferred Open Morning date from the list shown below and complete the registration form.
