IN-YEAR ADMISSIONS
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 [email protected] or by calling 0208 969 7756. The office will be happy to provide you with an application for an 'in year' admission.
