Guillemont Junior School – September 2027 Year 3 Admission

We would like to invite you to attend one of our school tours on either Monday 28th September, Thursday 1st October, or Friday 2nd October 2026, between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm. Each day offers three sessions (9:00–9:30 am, 10:30–11:00 am, and 11:00–11:30 am), limited to twenty families per session (split into two groups of ten). Your child may accompany you on these mornings.

Additionally, we invite you to our Year 2 Presentation Evening on Tuesday 22nd September 2026 at 7 pm. This event is intended for parents and carers only, though a supervised classroom will be available where children can watch a film if childcare is difficult.

Applying for a School Place In-Year

An in-year admission is when a child needs an immediate school place during the school year (for Years 3, 4, 5, or 6).

There are two main reasons for this: you might be moving house, or you may be unhappy with your child’s current school.

You can apply for an in-year place up to four school weeks before the place is needed. If you are offered a place, the school will require your child to start within four school weeks. Exceptionally, parents seeking an in-year place starting in September 2026 can apply from 1st May 2026. These applications will be considered from 8th June 2026.

In-year applications for Hampshire schools are processed by the schools directly. We aim to respond to your application in writing within 10 school days, but we must respond no later than 15 school days.
