Welcome to Leweston Prep Admissions

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. At Leweston Prep, we offer a warm, nurturing environment where every child is encouraged to thrive academically, socially, and personally. Our small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and vibrant community ensure that each pupil receives the individual attention they need to flourish.

Whether you are joining us from our Nursery, moving up from another school, or starting your educational journey with us, we are here to guide you through every step of the admissions process. Explore what makes Leweston Prep a special place for your child to learn, grow, and discover their potential.

Experience Leweston for Yourself

The best way to appreciate what makes Leweston Prep distinctive is to visit us. We would be delighted to welcome you and show you what our school can offer. If you are unable to visit in person, we are very happy to meet you online; the Head od Prep regularly holds Zoom meetings with families who live further away or overseas.

Following your initial enquiry, if you wish to apply for a place at Leweston, we ask you to register your child for entry by completing our registration form. Registrations are considered in the order they are received, which may affect selection decisions if a year group moves to a waiting list. Once we have received your registration, we will acknowledge your application and you will receive ongoing updates and news from the school.

After registration, we invite all prospective pupils to attend a taster day to spend the day with their potential year group. There will be an informal assessment in literacy and numeracy at this time which typically forms part of a lesson. A ‘guardian angel’ (another pupil in their class who will stay with them all day) will look after your child and you will have the opportunity to meet and speak to their class teacher on arrival and collection. After a successful taster we will request a reference from your current school.

Following the taster day, if both you and the school wish to proceed, we will offer a place. We will email you our Parent Contract and Acceptance Form. To secure the place, you will need to complete the Acceptance Form and pay a deposit (refunded against your final school bill). 

Joining information will then be shared with you well ahead of your child’s start date. All new pupils are invited to a 'Move Up Day' in June.
