Admissions
Admissions to Year R or Year 3 at The Hermitage Schools are currently controlled by the Local Authority, who we have appointed to manage our admissions into those year groups. Please see the Surrey County Council website for more information.
If your child is due to start school in either Reception or Year 3 next September and you would like to book on our prospective parents tours, please see our dates:
Hermitage Infant School here
Hermitage Junior School here
Prospective New Parents
The schools manage admissions to all other year groups themselves and you should apply to the schools directly if you would like a place. When a space becomes available in the appropriate year group, the admissions officer for the school will select the appropriate child from the waiting list using the school criteria for in-year admissions. Contact will then be made to the appropriate child’s family to see if the place is still required and, if so, a suitable start date will be agreed.
Our website will give you an insight into our schools and will contain information which will answer many of your questions, from the schools’ vision and values to what's on the school lunch menu!
If you have any further questions, please telephone or email the relevant school:
Hermitage Infant School 01483 474981 infantoffice@hermitage.surrey.sch.uk
Hermitage Junior School 01483 472047 junioroffice@hermitage.surrey.sch.uk
