The school prioritises a supportive and engaging environment for young learners, welcoming children from the beginning of the school year following their third birthday into its Nursery class. While the childcare and school have distinct admissions policies, the school encourages prospective parents to explore its facilities through parent tours, which are regularly scheduled in the autumn and early spring terms, or by arranging individual visits. The admissions team is available to assist with inquiries regarding both nursery and school placements. The school also provides information on applying for Reception places, emphasising that children in Nursery do not automatically transfer to Reception and a separate application process is required. The Aldgate School is committed to working with families to ensure a smooth transition into their early education journey. What it's like Staff form strong and trusting relationships with children, helping them feel secure and settled in a warm, home-like environment. They maintain high expectations, fostering positive behaviour and respectful relationships among children and peers.
