Admissions Process

Give our Admissions Registrar, Emilda Lanfranchi a call on 020 8832 7542 to discuss your child's needs, check availability and find out more about Clifton Lodge.

Experience the welcoming atmosphere of Clifton Lodge first-hand by coming along to one of our Open Days or book a private tour. Our Head, Michael Belsito, staff and pupils look forward to meeting you to show you around and give you an insight into school life. If you are unable to visit in person, please request a Zoom call with our Head.

When you're ready to take the next step, simply complete the registration form and pay a fee of £150 (non-refundable). This will enable us to start our admissions process to ensure that we can meet your child's needs.

This is a great way for your child to meet their class and teachers whilst becoming familiar with the school. Early Years children are invited for a short taster session (with or without parents). Children in Pre-Prep (Years 1 & 2) are offered a taster day where they are paired with a buddy to support them and soothe any nerves. In Prep (Years 3-6), children attend a taster day with an assigned buddy who will guide them during the day. After a morning and lunch with their class they will sit assessment tests. The taster days enable the child to make some friends before they join the school.

Once we have received a satisfactory school reference and gathered feedback from staff on the outcome of the taster day, you will receive a time-limited offer by post and/or email. Your child’s educational journey is about to begin.

Simply complete and return the acceptance documentation with a deposit of £950 (£500 for Nursery) (International pupils - deposit of one term's fees) to secure your child’s place. *This deposit is held on your account and will not be deducted from the first term’s fees.

*If a full term’s written notice has not been given before the 1st day of term, a full term’s fees in lieu will be charged.
