Admission Arrangements

Please note that children attending the Nursery at New Monument Primary WILL NOT automatically secure a Reception place at the school in the year that they turn aged 5. There is a separate admissions process to join Reception.  Parents of children attending the Nursery needs to follow the Primary School Admissions Process, which is run by Surrey County Council (please see the Admissions section of the school website). Reception places will be offered based on the admissions criteria.  No preferential treatment can be given to those attending the Nursery at New Monument Primary.

A booklet is produced annually by Surrey County Council, providing information about all primary schools in the county.  Parents should complete the application form provided with the booklet and return it to the local authority for admission to reception at New Monument.
