Admissions Process

Where Next?

Moon Hall School Reigate welcomes applications on behalf of girls and boys from any educational background.

Admission is based on the review of submitted specialist reports relating to the child’s educational needs and developmental progress and these must include a diagnosis of dyslexia as his or her primary special educational need.

Acceptance will depend on review of school reports and any specialist reports relating to their educational needs or developmental progress and attendance at a taster day/days.

As a small school with a limited number of places, we have to carefully assess the suitability of each pupil before making a decision as to whether we can offer a place. Moon Hall School Reigate will not offer any child a place unless the staff feel confident that they can help him or her. We cannot accept children whose behaviour may compromise the learning of others (or, indeed, their own learning).

We only accept children when they have joined us for at least one day to see whether they fit in with the existing pupils in their likely grouping. Their visit should result in them wanting to join us.

If your child has a statement of Special Educational Needs/EHCP it is essential that you submit a copy of this with your application.

Taster/assessment day(s)

If we consider that our school may be suitable for your child after review of the documentation, we will contact you and arrange for your child to attend a taster/assessment day(s). If you wish your child to attend please ensure that you have filled in the Registration Form and have included the registration fee of £150.

In addition we may ask that your child has a screening assessment by our Speech and Language therapist. This will take place on the taster day and will cost £150. You will be notified of this in advance and payment will be required by cheque on the day. Please note that this is non-refundable if your child is not offered a place.

If after review of the documentation we consider that our school cannot provide a suitable educational setting for your child we will inform you by letter.

Offer of a place

After your child has attended a taster day(s) we will collate the teachers’ assessments and all other feedback and this is submitted to our Admissions Panel. We will inform you by letter if the school can meet, or is unable to meet your child’s educational needs.
