VIDEO TOUR OF PRINCESS FREDERICA
Please click on the link below for a short video about Princess Frederica that has been created to give prospective parents and carers a bit of an idea about the different parts of the school and go some way to replacing the tours that are not able to happen this term. Please remember this video has been created by school based staff who are not professional film makers. It gives a small snapshot of some areas of the school but is not a comprehensive guide of everything at the school. We do though, hope you find it useful in supporting your choice for the best school for your child.
Thank you and with kind regards,
Mr Richards
Headteacher

BRENT TIMELINE AND LINK FOR APPLICATION FOR A RECEPTION PLACE
ADMISSION INTO SCHOOL IN SEPTEMBER 2022 START
The Governing Board are aware that access to places of worship has been severely restricted since March 2020 due to public health measures to limit the incidence of COVID-19.
This may have an impact on parents and carers who would like regular attendance at the Churches of St Mark’s or St Martin’s or another place of worship to be taken into account in their child’s application for entry to nursery or reception in September 2022.
The Governing Board is committed to ensuring that our admission arrangements remain appropriate, realistic and fair.
The situation is being monitored closely and, if necessary, an application will be made to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator to temporarily vary our admission arrangements to take account of the changed circumstances.
As soon as any further information is available, we will update this page. Thank you for your patience. Please contact the School if you have any questions.

In-year admissions 2020-21
Princess Frederica is proud to be a popular school but this does mean that we receive more applications than we have places in Reception and are unfortunately not able to offer every child a place at the start of the school year.
We encourage parents to join our waiting list as places may become available later on in the year, for example when parents' circumstances change. For the same reason, a limited number of places may also become available in later school years.
Applications for such places are referred to as 'in year' applications and should be made direct to the school, in the first instance. If you have an enquiry about 'in year' applications or about your child joining the waiting list for a place at Princess Frederica, please contact the school office by emailing admin@princessfrederica.brent.sch.uk or by calling 0208 969 7756. A copy of the in-year admissions application form can be found below.
