Admissions
Starting school is an exciting step for all children and their families. We are here to help you find out everything you need to know about our school and how you can apply. If you do not know much about our school we have a range of open days and tours that you can attend. Our Leadership Team are also happy to meet families individually, particularly if an application is mid-year. Our website also includes lots of useful information about life at Crofton Hammond Infants - browse our Galleries, Curriculum and Parent tabs.

Transition into School
Our Early Years team will arrange to visit your child at their pre-school setting and at home so they can get to know your child before the start of Year R. Children at feeder pre-schools will also have the chance to play in Early Years with their pre-school leader. Mid year applicants will have a personalised visit programme.
