Ballot

Places are allocated by a ballot drawn by the Headmistress, the School Registrar and the Assistant Director of Education from Cognita. We offer 52 places. Registered siblings automatically receive a place providing their brother or sister attends Charterhouse Square School at the time of the ballot and their first term of entry. Therefore it is only for the remaining places that the ballot is drawn.

Receive an offer

Successful applicants are sent an offer letter by first class post and invited to attend an Open Morning. Unsuccessful applicants will receive a letter asking if they wish for their child to remain on the waiting list.

Deposit

On receipt of an offer letter, your child’s place is held pending receipt of the £6,000 Acceptance Deposit which must be paid by the date set below. Your child’s place is not secure until the deposit is received. Should your child not start with us for any reason whatsoever, your Acceptance or Nursery Deposit will be forfeited. Deferrals are not permitted.

Admissions procedure notes

Please note the below in reference to our admissions process. Our friendly admissions team will be on hand at any time during the process to help answer questions you may have.

  • You will receive confirmation by email once both the completed registration form and the payment are received. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please telephone the school as we cannot accept responsibility for lost registration forms or payments.

  • Acceptance or Nursery Deposit is made to secure your child’s place. This is held by us until your child leaves the school, at which point the deposit is refunded during the final term once your account has been settled in full. This refund is subject to the required notice period being given and completion of 6 terms should your child have started with us in the Nursery.
