Application Process

Applications for admission to Reception classes in September 2025 are coordinated by the Local Authority. If you intend to apply for a place at The Rosary Catholic Primary School, you will need to do the following:

All applicants must complete their home local authority online application. Only Hounslow residents can apply on a Hounslow online system at www.hounslow.gov.uk/primaryadmissions
All online applications must be submitted by the closing date of 15 January 2025, midnight
You must also complete the enclosed Supplementary Information Form (SIF) and ask your Priest to complete the Certificate of Catholic Practice and again return it to school in person by 15th January 2025.
Applications received after 15th January 2025 will be treated as late applications and will only be considered after places have been allocated to families who applied on time.
You will be sent an e-mail with the outcome of your application on 16th April 2025 (after 5 pm). You will not receive a letter if you have been offered your first preference school. You must, however, accept or not accept this offer online by 30th April 2025 by going to https://www.eadmissions.org.uk/ and selecting ‘view outcome and respond’.

Nursery 2025/26

The Rosary Catholic Primary is pleased to announce that applications for admission will be ready from January 2025. We invite parents of nursery age children to explore our nurturing educational environment, where we are dedicated to fostering a love of learning and spiritual growth. Our school community values each child's unique potential and strives to provide a supportive atmosphere that encourages academic excellence and personal development. We look forward to welcoming new families to our school and guiding their children on their educational journey.

In-year Admissions

Children are normally admitted to school at specific stages, such as starting reception class or transferring to year 7 in secondary school. If you require a school place for your child outside these times of admission, you will be making an in-year admission.

An application must be made to the Local Authority on their in-year application form. A Supplementary Information Form should also be completed and returned to the school office.

Where there are more applications than places available, each application will be ranked in accordance with the published oversubscription criteria. If a place cannot be offered, you may ask us for the reasons and you will be informed of your right of appeal. You will be offered the opportunity of being placed on a waiting list. The waiting list will be maintained by the Governing Body in the order of the oversubscription criteria. When a place becomes available, the Governing Body will decide who is at the top of the list so that an offer can be made.
