Reception Admissions

Children are admitted into our Reception class during the academic year of their fifth birthday. The academic year runs from 1st September to 31st August.

We currently admit thirty children into our Reception class. Places are allocated to those children whose parents/carers have expressed a preference for a place at St Joseph’s on their Common Application Form (CAF) to the Local Authority (LA).

If there are more preferences expressed than available places, they will be allocated in accordance with the School’s Admissions Criteria.

As well as the CAF if you are a practicing Catholic please also complete the schools Supplementary Form, signed by your parish priest and return to the school in January.

The CAF can be submitted online or in paper form in January, please check exact deadline date. The online form can be accessed by clicking on the link to the London Borough of Wandsworth’s website.

Waiting lists are only applicable from the year in which the application was received. To remain on the waiting list, parents/carers must re-apply annually.
