Admissions Process
Admissions Process
- Parents/carers must complete and return an application form (available from the admin office or at www.mmps.miet.uk) with a non-refundable £60 (inc VAT), registration fee, covering administration, entrance exams.
Our main intake is in September as most of our pupils join us in Nursery and remain with us until they leave for High School at the end of Year 6. However, new pupils can join the school at any time throughout the academic year, if places are available in the desired year group.
Nursery Admissions
Early registration is essential for entry at age three due to high demand. A child can join the nursery the term after their third birthday. After submitting the application with proof of birth and registration fee, a one-to-one assessment will be arranged to gauge the child’s readiness.
Reception Admissions
Children progressing from our Nursery to Reception must attend Nursery full-time during the previous academic year. Parents must confirm their child’s place by January. Priority for Reception places is given to full-time Nursery pupils with siblings at MMPS or MIET schools.
New applicants for Reception undergo a one-to-one assessment with an EYFS teacher. Admission decisions are based on the assessment results.
Year 1 to Year 6 Admissions
Parents must submit the child’s previous school report before the entrance exam. Exams assess Mathematics, English, and general ability. Successful candidates are placed on a waiting list. Once a place is available, a reference from the current school is requested, followed by an interview with the head teacher.
For detailed information, refer to the full MMPS Admissions Policy.
Because of the high demand for places, the school operates a waiting list. Places are therefore offered on a first come, first serve basis, with siblings receiving priority. Any pupils wishing to join from Reception onwards will be required to undertake a Teacher Assessment before a place will be offered.
Registering your child
At MMPS, we encourage all potential parents to visit the school as this will assist with the decision making process.
Application forms can be found in the Download section at the bottom of this page or can also be obtained by contacting the school office or e-mailing the admissions department on admissions@mmps.miet.uk
Completed forms should be returned to school, along with a non-refundable registration fee of £60 (inc VAT).
On receipt of the completed forms and registration fees, the pupil’s details will be uploaded to the appropriate waiting list and confirmation of this will be sent to parents in writing.
Should a place become available, parents will be contacted and pupils will be invited to spend part of the day in school and undertake an assessment.
Pupils are assessed in areas of literacy and numeracy, including reading, comprehension, spelling and story writing. Pupils will also have the opportunity to sample school life and meet potential class mates. If your child is successful, a formal offer of a place will be made by the Head Teacher.
