Admissions

Admissions to Woods are now open for Term 1, 2025, commencing in September. As we follow the British curriculum, our academic year begins in September, and we welcome applications from children aged 0-7 years for our various age groups (Infants, Toddlers, Nursery, and Reception, Year 1 & 2).


We encourage families to apply early as spaces are limited. We look forward to welcoming you to the Woods community!

Campus Tours & Open Days 

Our Open Days for June and July have now concluded. However, we're pleased to announce one final Open Day at the end of August (Saturday 23rd), designed to accommodate parents who wish for one last look before the new school year commences.

For interested parents who would like to see our campus and are comfortable visiting while construction is ongoing, we warmly invite you to reach out to make a booking for a private tour to see the campus and classrooms (as we construct them).

Come and experience the magic of Woods firsthand! This is your opportunity to see our campus take shape, feel the unique atmosphere we are cultivating, and connect with the vision behind our early years learning.

Admission criteria

  • Age Appropriateness: Children must meet the age requirements for the class they are applying for.

  • Alignment with School Philosophy: We invite families who share our values and appreciate our nature-based, holistic educational approach to join our community.

  • Completion of Application: All required documents must be submitted.

  • Payment of Fees: Enrollment and tuition fees must be paid according to the school's payment schedule.

Admission Policy 

Waiting Lists

  • If a year group has reached its capacity, new applicants will be placed on a waiting list. These lists are managed in the order of application. However, siblings of current students may be given priority.

Siblings

  • When waiting lists exist for a year group, siblings of children already enrolled at the school will be prioritized. Additionally, a tuition fee discount is available for siblings.

​Supporting Documents

  • All applicants should provide copies of their passport or ID. If the child has attended a previous school, we also request any available reports.

Medical Form

  • Parents are requested to complete this form promptly after their child joins the school.

Additional Educational Support

  • Woods School welcomes children with mild learning needs and provides various support options. Our approach favors inclusion within the main classroom setting, with any adjustments to activities determined through discussions with parents and teachers.

  • Parents are asked to inform the school of any known or suspected special needs their child may have prior to enrollment.

Individualized Instruction

  • At Woods children are in classes with varied abilities. Teachers adapt their instructional methods, activities, and learning goals to meet each child's individual needs. Children may work in small groups within the classroom to facilitate this approach. All children in the same age group work towards the same learning objectives.

Physical Accessibility

  • We strive to accommodate children with physical disabilities to the extent that our school facilities and environment allow.
