How to Apply for Pre-Prep Admissions:

Welcome to St Lawrence College Pre-Prep Admissions! Choosing the right school for your child is a significant decision, and we are here to guide you through every step of the process.

Are you considering a place for your child? Start by visiting us! We’ll gladly give you a tour of our wonderful school. During your visit, you’ll meet Mrs. Rowe, our Headteacher, and discuss how St Lawrence College Pre-Prep can support your child’s development.

If you believe St Lawrence College Pre-Prep is the right fit for your child, apply directly through our online Admissions Portal. Simply complete the registration process by paying the £100 non-refundable registration fee.

After you submit your application, we will request a report from your child’s current school, if applicable. Once we review the report, we will invite your child to a taster day. Following the taster day, we will offer your child a place. The entry process concludes when you return the Acceptance Form and deposit.

Three-year-olds may join us the term after their third birthday, and children are welcome to enter at any time throughout the academic year.

Come and experience the warm, nurturing environment of St Lawrence College Pre-Prep – we can’t wait to meet you and your family!
