Information for prospective parents for Nursery and Reception start in 2022
Dates for school tours and presentations for prospective parents and carers will be updated here in late August 2021.
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. 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 Anthony Richards

Key admissions information when applying: Nursery and Reception start in 2021
ADMISSIONS ARRANGEMENTS
Please read our admissions arrangements carefully. If applying for a Reception place for starting in 2021, you must complete an application through Brent (or through the local authority that you live in).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION FORM (SIF)
The Governing Board anticipates that, due to COVID-19 restrictions in place during significant periods of 2020 and 2021, very few if any applicants will be able to demonstrate regular attendance at St Mark's, St Martin's or another place of worship sufficient to be taken into account for applications for places in reception in September 2022. In line with Church of England Education Office guidance, the Governing Board does not consider that regular attendance can be evidenced by anything other than physical attendance at a weekly service (services that are "streamed" or otherwise available online do not count for these purposes, mainly because attendance is difficult to confirm).
You do not need to complete a SIF if you do not want a religious reference to be taken into account.
NURSERY ADMISSION
Nursery admission runs through the school. Please submit your Nursery application directly to the school and request a receipt so you have proof you have submitted your application. For Nursery, you do not need to complete and submit any electronic forms to Brent. Princess Frederica Nursery admissions follows the same timeline as Bent admissions and can be found below. Deadline for applications is 15th January '22.
Nursery application will be uploaded in August 2021
Nursery application will be uploaded in August 2021
You do not need to complete a the SIF section on the Nursery application if you do not want a religious reference to be taken into account.

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 admin@princessfrederica.brent.sch.uk or by calling 0208 969 7756. A copy of the in-year admissions application form can be found below.
