Admissions

 

Reception applications

St Mary's Catholic Primary is a two-form entry school in the Archdiocese of Southwark. Although we prioritise Catholic applicants and have strong links with local Catholic parishes, we welcome applicants from those of all faiths and none and multiple places were offered to non-Catholic children last year.

 

Our Published Admission Number is 30 children per class from Reception to Year 6 and 26 children for both morning and afternoon nursery sessions.

 

Individual tours are available for those who wish to learn more about our school – please contact the Admissions Officer on admin@St-marys.merton.sch.uk for more details.

Nursery applications

Our nursery is open from 8.30am to 3.30pm in term time only and applications are welcomed for full time places. Wrap around care is also available from 7.30am to 6pm for an additional charge. Children usually start nursery the September after they turn 3 years old, although they can start the term after they turn 3 if places are available.

 

For nursery places applications should be made to the school only by 28^th February 2026, using the Additional Information Form - Nursery below. Catholic applicants should also supply a baptism certificate and Certificate of Catholic Practice as appropriate. Applicants of other faiths should provide, evidence of baptism/reception into that faith and evidence of worship where appropriate.

Should our nursery be oversubscribed places will be allocated based on the criteria set out in the below Admissions Policy.
