Admissions
Please note that there is a different procedure for admission to the Nursery, the Reception class and In Year Admissions.
Reception Admissions
Please contact the school to book a place on one of our open morning school tours (dates on the calendar)
If you are applying for a place in Reception then you must register with Southwark, create an account and complete an on-line application using the link below:
If you require further advice or information you can contact Southwark’s Admissions Team on 020 7525 5337.
Michael Faraday School is a popular school, therefore it is important to apply on time. Late admissions are not considered in the first round of applications. Reception places are allocated by the Local Education Authority, and not by the school. The Local Education Authority manages the school’s waiting list until 31st August of each year, when it is handed over to the school.
Remember that if you currently have a child already in the school Nursery, you must still complete an on-line application for admission to Reception. There is no automatic transfer from Nursery to Reception.
Starting Reception
Please see the link below for useful information for parents and carers about children starting in Reception, including the key skills that schools expect children to begin developing before their first day.
Practising these skills at home will help make your child’s transition into Reception as positive and successful as possible.
Nursery Admission
Please refer to the Nursery information section
In Year Admissions
If you are interested in an in-year (after Reception admissions) primary school place for your child, please contact the school office or email

This form must be completed and taken to your child’s existing school for the present headteacher’s signature. Copies of this form may be obtained from the school if you have difficulty accessing or printing this form.
