Admissions

The GST will admit 90 children into Year 3 in accordance with the criteria listed in the Admission Policy.

(Maps showing the ecclesiastical parish boundaries for All Saints Church and St. Nicolas Church may be viewed by request at the school office and are also on our website www.queen-eleanors.surrey.sch.uk).

Where there is over subscription in any category, places will be allocated to children living closest to the school.

Late applications can only be considered when all of the on-time applications have been ranked.

To apply for an in-year admission please contact Surrey County Council admissions at  (https://www.surreycc.gov.uk/schools-and-learning/schools/admissions)

A waiting list, compiled from specific requests from parents for a place, will be held for each year group for a period of one academic year. It is the responsibility of the parents to contact the school and ask for their child to be added to the school’s waiting list. It is also the parents’ responsibility to check their child’s position on the waiting list as the school cannot inform parents routinely of changes in position on the waiting list.

If vacancies arise, places will be allocated to the child placed highest in the order of categories listed above and within those criteria by shortest distance. Should parents wish to add their child to the waiting list for the following academic year (after initial application), they must complete an in-year application form (under the relevant Admission Policy) and submit this to the school. Previous years applications will not be carried over.

The GST reserve the right to withdraw the offer of a place where the parent has made a fraudulent or intentionally misleading application that effectively denied a place to another child.

Infant Schools

Queen Eleanor’s C of E Junior School serves the parishes of All Saints Church and St. Nicolas Church. Our main feeder schools are Onslow Infants School and St. Nicolas Infants School. The majority of each September’s intake is admitted from these schools.

The websites for these two schools are included below:

Onslow Infant:  www.onslow.surrey.sch.uk
St Nicolas’:  www.st-nicolas-guildford.com

We liaise closely with both of our feeder schools throughout the year, but particularly during the Summer Term in the lead up to the children starting at Queen Eleanor's. We have one transition day when the Year 2 children are invited to spend the day at Queen Eleanor’s. 

Upon Transfer

There are three Year 3 classes and new children entering the school each September will be allocated to one of these classes. Your child’s current infant school advises us about the groupings of children to fit our class organisation because they know the children best at this stage. We also ensure there is a balanced spread of abilities, EAL, Gender and SEN in each class to ensure the best possible education opportunities for all our children.

Secondary Schools

Most of our leavers go to Guildford County School which is located at the lower end of the Farnham Road, on the edge of Onslow Village and about a mile from Queen Eleanor’s school.

We also have some pupils leave us to go to other secondary schools in the Guildford area, such as Christ’s College, George Abbot, King’s College and St Peter’s, but this is dependent on other deciding factors, one of which is of course the pupil’s home address.

In addition we do see some pupils leave us for the independent secondary schools, such as the Royal Grammar School (known locally as RGS) for boys and Guildford High or Tormead, both for girls, while there are other good schools in the wider Surrey/south east area where our former pupils have gone on to learn.

If you would like some guidance on secondary schools the school office can offer limited help.  We would advise parents to visit the school websites or call them directly, as well as visiting the Surrey Schools website which offers very useful information.
