There is a 3 class intake into Foundation at St Faith’s.
We recommend that prospective parents book a tour of the school before application, so that you can see the school in action and feel confident that it is the right setting for your child.
Priority consideration is given to children who have siblings already in, or due to start at the School, children of staff teaching at, or who are about to take up appointments at either of The Leys and St Faith’s Foundation schools, and the children of Old Fidelians (former pupils). Further details are available in our admissions policy.
If you would like to apply for a place at St Faith’s, please visit our admissions portal by clicking on the ‘Apply Online’ button. You will then be able to register for a parent account and start a new application.
Creating an account will enable you to save information and return to the portal later.
In Step 7 of the process, you will be asked to confirm that you have made payment of the registration fee of £100. Please make payment before submitting the application.
