Although we are often oversubscribed in our Foundation Stage from time to time we do have spaces that become available in other year groups. This can be for instance if a family relocates. If you would like to enquire about whether we have any current spaces or put your name on a waiting list please call the school office on 01189302337.
We currently have spaces - please contact the school if you'd like to find out more
Englefield is a popular and regularly oversubscribed school. We have agreed criteria for deciding applications when we are oversubscribed. For full details on our Admissions Policy please see the downloads section on this page.
Applications for entry must be made on the common application form of the local authority where the parent lives at the time of the application (i.e. your home LA), which may of may not be West Berkshire. Parents living in West Berkshire should apply either on-line via the West Berkshire website or on the West Berkshire common application form.
We admit pupils at a single point of entry at the beginning of the academic year in September for children whose 5th birthday falls between 1st September – 31st August. Places are offered on a full time basis, but parents can request for their children to attend part time until they reach 5 yrs old. Parents also have the option to defer entry if they feel their child is not yet ready for school. If parents are considering either of these options they must discuss it with the school first once their child has been allocated a place.
Applications for places outside the normal admissions round, for example if you have are moving into the area and your child is already at school or you want to move your child, any such applications should be made directly to the school.
