Tours are conducted by our Admissions Manager (Ron), and where possible the headteacher will come and say hello and answer any questions you may have.
If for any reason you are unable to visit us in person, we can offer a 1:1 video call or telephone call with our Headteacher as an introduction to our school.
Apply
Complete the application form on our website and pay the application fee to register your interest.
Please note: Application is an indication of interest and is not a guarantee of a place. Places at Polam School are limited and applications are processed in the order they are received.
Taster
Book and attend a Taster Session. Your child will spend time in class with their teacher and potential future classmates.

Welcome
An email will be sent out to arrange ‘Settling In’ (Nursery/Preschool) and provide you with useful information.
Settling In Sessions
Shortly before your child joins the School, we will contact you to arrange a settling-in session where your child can come in for 60-90 minutes (depending on the age of the child), to meet their new teacher and their classmates.
This is to help them become familiar with their new surroundings. Parents of very young children are more than welcome to stay for the duration of the first taster session, although we do often find that children will integrate more easily if they don’t have parents with them.
