Church Schools

We have two local Church of England Voluntary Aided schools in our parish: The Priory Church of England Primary School  and Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School. Both schools have a strong Christian ethos. There is regular worship, often led by clergy from the parish. The parish appoints governors to the governing bodies of both schools. Children often visit church for acts of worship or for other visits.

 

The admissions policies of both schools allocates half of places as 'foundation places', for the children of families who worship regularly in Christian churches. Amongst these, priority goes to those who worship in one of the three churches in Merton Priory parish.

 

If you wish to apply for a foundation place at any church school (Secondary, Reception or Nursery), you will need to complete a parish foundation places questionnaire and bring it and with any school foundation reference forms to a brief meeting with the Vicar.  Deadlines are end of October for Secondary, end of November for Nursery and end of December for Primary.
