Reception Tours
If you would like to visit us as a prospective parent for the next Reception class intake, we offer tours of the school which will be led by our Senior Leadership Team (September – December).
We offer all the sessions from 9.30am. During these sessions, we will show you around the school and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
Please call our school office on 0207 254 1148 and speak to Narlene who will take your details and book you in. Alternatively, email admin@st-matthias.hackney.sch.uk

Applying for a place in our Reception class
The Hackney Learning Trust are responsible for setting the admission arrangements for all schools for which they are the Admission Authority – that is, community and voluntary controlled schools in the borough.
If your child was born between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2023, they will be due to start the reception class next year and you will need to start thinking about the primary schools you would like to apply for.
We want to support you as much as we can with the applications process. You can apply for your child’s school place online. To apply online the Pan London E-Admissions system opens in September . The closing date for applications is 15th January each year.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
