Gearies Primary School

Parents should register their child for the Nursery at the school office on the pre-admission list, by their third birthday. Shortly before the child's admission to school, parents will be invited to attend a short meeting in school, introducing the school and its procedures. Children's admissions to Reception, Key Stage One and Two are made in line with Borough policy, by applying to the Education Department.

It is the policy of the school that all children will wear our agreed uniform each day. This fosters a feeling of belonging to our community, and helps children feel equal to each other.

Our teaching is informed by relevant research, for which we have an international reputation.
