ADMISSION TIMETABLE

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 click on the link below.
