Mayflower Federation is a non-selective, state-funded school in the London Borough of Southwark. We welcome visits to the school in order to decide if this is the right school for you and your child. Over the Autumn term, many tours of the school are scheduled and you should contact the school office to reserve a place. Should you be interested in visiting the school at any other point of the year, please ring the main office to make an appointment. Should there be a vacancy in your child’s year group, then a tour will be provided. Unfortunately, we cannot offer tours at any other point of the year.
The policy and arrangements for admission to the school into Reception are set out by Southwark local authority and are available online. Admission into the school is typically at Reception (children aged 4 by September 1st of each year) and applications should be made to the local authority who allocate these spaces into the school. If you are unsuccessful in your bid for a place in Reception, you have the right to appeal to Southwark local authority who allocate these places.
Children with Statements of SEN
For children with a Local Authority Statement of Special Educational Needs or and Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), parents must contact the SEN Department in the London Borough of Southwark for further information of how to apply for a place at the school.
In-Year Admissions into Years 1 to 6
If you have just moved to the area with children of school age, please contact the school who will be able to advise whether there are currently any vacancies in your child’s year group. Should there be no vacancies within the school at the time of applying, then you are welcome to be added to a waiting list. Parents/ carers should also contact the London Borough of Southwark to see if any other spaces in other schools are available.
Parent Tours for Nursery and Reception
Under normal circumstances we offer tours of our school for parents/ carers to get a feel for our school. However, due to the limitations we have in place due to Covid-19, we are unfortunately unable to offer tours of our school at this time.
There is plenty of information on this website to assist you in deciding as to whether our school is the right choice for you and your child. Also, please read a booklet online, containing Frequently Asked Questions to give you further information regarding our school and what we have to offer you and your child.
If you have any further queries, then please do not hesitate to contact the school office, where we will do our best to answer any questions you may have. Should the current situation change in the near future then we will update our website further, so please come back to this page from time-to-time to check for further information.
