Joining Somerhill

Choosing the right school for you

We know that choosing the right school for your child is a big decision. At Somerhill, we take a personal and dedicated approach to help you at this important time. Whether you would like an informal chat, a visit or a meeting, our admissions team are on hand to make the arrangements or answer any questions, big or small.

Our three most common entry points at Somerhill are Nursery, Reception, and Year 3. Subject to availability, children can join us anytime during the school year. Our youngest pupils can join us for our Nursery provision when they are two and a half years old (two from September 2025). Children may also join in September after their third birthday when they enter our Kindergarten for the school year before Reception. Children are also welcome to join Somerhill directly at Reception.

Once you decide you would like your child to join Somerhill, we ask that you complete our registration form and pay a £150 non-refundable registration fee per child. Once you have registered, your child joins our waiting list. They will be offered a place when it becomes available (Nursery and Kindergarten) or invited to a taster session (Reception to Year 8).
