Admissions
Apply for a School Place
If your child is due to start school soon or you are looking to change schools, we would be delighted to meet you and your family.
We currently have space available in the school in some year groups. If you would like to view the school or apply for a place, please contact us at adminoffice@silchester.hants.sch.uk or 01189 700256.
For late applications for children starting Year R in September 2025, please also contact the office.
Applications should be made online via Hampshire County Council through the following link:

Should you wish to apply to Silchester School under the "Christian commitment" criteria, please ensure you complete our SIF form which can be found at the end of our Admissions Policy. The SIF has to be returned to the school and not submitted online.
Should you be unsuccessful in being offered a place for your child, there is an Admissions Appeals process. Please see the link below:
