What Happens Next ?

Once we receive your child’s application form we will:

  •  Check if we have a place available to offer you
  • If we have a place, we will offer you an introductory meeting with the Head Teacher
  • Once you have met with the Head Teacher we will arrange a start date for your child
  • We will then follow this up with a letter confirming the start date

If you have applied for a Nursery or Reception place, you will be contacted by our Family Support Worker (FSW) to arrange a home visit. For Reception applications, this will be once you have been officially allocated a place at Carlton by Camden Local Authority.

A home visit is an opportunity for us to meet you and your family as part of our transition process. It will give you the opportunity to ask questions and find out more about your child starting our school.
