We are pleased that you are considering Aldersbrook Primary School as an option for your child’s education. You are very welcome to make an appointment to visit our school and see for yourself the exciting learning and interactive environment. Visits to the school can be arranged by contacting the school’s main office. Our Parent Support Adviser (PSA) usually leads tours of the school and is able to answer any questions you may have.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) at Aldersbrook Primary School is for children aged three to five and covers the early years of their education. Aldersbrook Primary School was the first maintained school in London to gain accredited status as a Montessori School. We work on providing an integrated EYFS and Montessori experience for children based on their learning, individual needs and interests.

Applications can be made when your child is 2½ years old. Your details will be kept on file for the next intake. The school only has one intake for September start - for September 2025 this means they must be born between the 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022.

Please return the completed form with proof of date of birth of your child (passport or birth certificate) to the school office, either by email to admin.aldersbrook@redbridge.gov.uk or in person. 

The first round of offers will be based on applications received before 30th April 2025. Applications after this date are still welcome. If you have missed this round, you will then be considered if any offers are not taken. The first round of offers will be made in early May. Parents will be contacted to offer their child a place. 

A place in our Nursery does not guarantee an automatic place in our Reception class.  Parents have to apply via the local authority for admission for a place in Aldersbrook Reception class.

We offer a range of options for our Nursery children, including 30 hour funded places:

Nursery part-time session - 15 hours

Nursery - 30 hours (8.30am - 3.30pm). 30 hours is available with the code gained by applying through the gov.uk website. Extended hours can be requested by paying a fee.
