Admission to Priory School of Our Lady of Walsingham

We encourage all parents and pupils who wish to consider joining us to view our school in situ. This will give you the opportunity to tour the school and see the pupils busy in their classrooms. This will allow you to ask questions and find out what is being learnt in the different subjects.

Also for any potential new pupil we offer ‘taster days’ which are free with no obligation. This will allow your child(ren) to experience three days in the life of a ‘Priorian’ and get a taste of what it is like to be a pupil at our school, by taking part in all of the lessons from a typical day.

We offer an open house policy

Things To Know

  1. The Principal reserves the right to admit or refuse any pupil. Admission is conditional upon the acceptance of the terms of admission and compliance with the rules of the School. The Principal has discretion to request a pupil be withdrawn from the school for any cause deemed sufficient, without refund of fees. A non-refundable registration fee of £250 is chargeable, valid for one academic year.
  2. A full term’s written notice is required on the first day of the preceding term before a pupil is removed from the school, or if an optional subject is to be discontinued. In the absence of such notice the full term’s fees must be paid.
  3. Uniform should comply with the issued list and be clearly marked with the owner’s name.
  4. If a pupil is absent through illness the School must be informed on the first day. No remission can be claimed for absence.
  5. The Priory School Parent Association (PSPA) is a parental support and fundraising organisation which helps to the big events throughout the school year.  Funds raised by the PSPA, through events such as the Christmas Fayre and the Easter Egg Hunt, are used to purchase extracurricular items or equipment that will benefit Priory School pupils. The PSPA also supports with catering and refreshments on special occasions.
  6. As part of Computer Science and other lessons the school gives all pupils access to the internet. It is important to ensure their safety is protected at all times in relation to access to online materials. Please read our ‘Policies & Procedures’ page for more information.
  7. All fees are payable in advance on the first day of term. Termly or monthly basis by arrangement with the School Bursar. If the fees for the following term are paid by half-term a 5% reduction is applicable.
  8. Invoices are sent out at the end of each term, unless paid for with a discount at the previous half-term. Monthly payments are due on the 1st of each month by standing order.
  9. A 10% Sibling Reduction is applicable for younger siblings if the fees are received by the due date.
  10. A surcharge fee of 5% per calendar month, or part calendar month, is payable on fees not paid by the due date. A further surcharge of 10% for administration may be applied in cases of prolonged credit control. The school reserves the right to terminate a contract without notice in cases of non-payment of fees. No remission can be claimed for absence.
  11. No discounts will be applicable if fees are not paid by the due date.
  12. An annual review of fees is normally applicable and will be published in January each year to take effect in September at the start of the school year. It is related to inflation and to other external factors that affect costs.
