Admissions

A family of open arms

We are delighted that you are considering Dulwich Cranbrook for your child. We know that choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will make as a family.

We accept children from Fledglings through to Year 9 (and into Year 10 from September 2024). Our Admissions team is on-hand to support you through the process, and to ensure the steps to securing a place for your child are as straightforward as possible.

Step 1

Please contact our Admissions team in one of the following ways to find out the availability of places and to register for one of our Open Events or arrange an individual tour of Dulwich Cranbrook:

Complete our online enquiry form

Alternatively…

By phone: 01580 712179
By email: admissions@dulwichcranbrook.org

Step 2

If you wish to proceed, please register your child by completing and returning the registration form to admissions@dulwichcranbrook.org

Details for transfer of the £75.00 Registration Fee are provided on the form.

Registration does not guarantee your child a place at Dulwich; it is a formal expression of interest that ensures your child’s name is added to the relevant list for the specific year group and year of entry.

Step 3

The Admissions team will arrange for your child to visit Dulwich Cranbrook on one of our School Ready events (for Nash House Entry) or Taster and Assessment Days (for Prep and Senior School entry). At this stage, we will contact your child’s current Nursery for a reference (if applicable) and/or request a copy of your child’s two most recent school reports.

We also ask that a taster day information form is completed and returned to the Admissions team in advance of a Taster.

Step 4

Following the School Ready event or Taster and Assessment Day, the Admissions team will be in touch with the offer of a place. This includes an Acceptance Form for you to sign and return, along with payment of the £500 deposit to secure your child’s place.

Step 5

Depending on the term and year group in which your child is joining, the school holds a number of meetings and events for prospective children and parents, to support the transition to Dulwich Cranbrook. Details of these will be provided closer to the time of your child’s start date.
