Getting in

Maple Tree Primary School admissions and catchment area

Independent - own admissions process

This is an independent school

Maple Tree Primary School runs its own admissions process. You apply directly to the school, usually with a registration fee, an assessment or taster day, and often an interview. Bursaries and scholarships may be available - ask early.

Applications go direct to the school - you do not apply through your local council.

How to apply

  1. 1. Book a visit or open day

    Most independent schools want you to visit before you apply - open days and private tours are both usually offered.

  2. 2. Register with the school

    Complete the school's registration form and pay the registration fee. Some schools have a waiting list a year or more ahead.

  3. 3. Assessment / taster day

    Depending on age, this can be an informal assessment, a taster day in class, or a formal entrance test with an interview.

  4. 4. Offer and deposit

    The school makes an offer directly. A deposit secures the place; check the terms and notice period carefully.

  5. 5. Bursaries & scholarships

    Ask about means-tested bursaries and scholarships. Deadlines are often earlier than main entry.

Didn't get a place? Ask about waiting lists

Independent schools manage their own admissions. If you are not offered a place at Maple Tree Primary School, ask about the waiting list and whether a late application is possible.
