Preparatory School Admissions

External applicants are warmly welcomed to our Reception class, alongside children transitioning from our Pre-School.

We highly encourage families to attend our Open Days in October and March for an insight into school life. Mrs. Amanda Ilhan, Head of Nursery and Prep, is also available for private tours at your convenience.

Reception registration opens after our whole school Open Day in October. Prospective pupils will be invited to a Taster Day in January and our Transition Programme from March.

External families will be invited to briefing meetings with our Pre-School parents to discuss the transition process, curriculum, uniform, and other key information, with opportunities for questions.

To complete an application, please complete the below form.

For any quiries or if you require assistance with the application process, our Registrar, Liz Wyatt at admissions@akslytham.com or 01253 784104.
