Admissions

At St Mary’s we celebrate each child’s individual uniqueness and ensure they aspire to reach their full potential.

(Please scroll down the page for all the necessary Application Forms)

The breadth of our curriculum gives each pupil the opportunity to discover and explore their individual passions and talents. Our holistic environment allows pupils to thrive in activities beyond the classroom through enriching experiences in sports, creative arts, leadership opportunities and wellbeing.

We are a Catholic Primary and Nursery School within the Diocese of Westminster. It is founded for the education of Catholic children of the parishes of:

Our Lady of Sorrows & St Bridget’s, Isleworth
St Vincent de Paul, Osterley and
St Margaret of Scotland, St Margaret’s Twickenham

Whilst we are a Catholic School, the Governing body welcomes applications from those of all faiths and beliefs who are ready to embrace our ethos and values.

We currently take 26 children into our morning nursery and 60 children into two Reception classes.

You must also complete a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) and return it to school, either by email, post or hand, by 15th January 2025.
Applications received after 15th January 2025 will be treated as late applications and will only be considered after places have been allocated to families who applied on time.
