Applying for a place in Reception
Burlington Infant and Nursery School is in the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames. Each year the borough publishes its school admission criteria and application process in a booklet. This is available online on the borough's website and you can click the link below to download it:

We strongly recommend that families read the above admission criteria and arrangements before applying.
All applications must be made online at: www.eadmissions.org.uk.
The deadline for applications is 15 January 2024 for children who will join Reception in September 2024. You can still apply after the deadline but your application will be held on a waiting list and processed by the Council in May onwards.
If you live outside the borough, you can name our school in your own local authority's application form. Please contact your home local authority to obtain a form. In this case, you do not need to apply directly to the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
Please note: if your child attends our Nursery, this does not automatically guarantee him / her a place at Reception. You must make a new application via E-Admissions for your child.
If you have any questions regarding Reception admissions to our school, please contact the Admissions Officer at admissions@burlingtoni.org.uk
Open Days - Autumn 2023
Open days for parents of children who are interested in joining our school for Reception in September 2024 have all taken place in Autumn 2023. There are no further open day dates planned. As an alternative, we have created a video tour of our school to show you round our site and inside the classrooms. Please view this below:
Video Tour of Burlington Infant & Nursery School
This video tour was created during the COVID pandemic in 2020/2021 when in person tours could not take place. They remain a good reflection of our provision and facilities but please note a few details may now have changed.
Wrap-Around Childcare Provision
We offer wrap-around childcare for our pupils, aged 3 years and above, via our own Breakfast and After-School Club called Acorns. Please visit the Acorns web page for more details on Acorns:

Primary School Admissions Booklet
Please note: if your child attends our Infants School, this does not automatically guarantee him / her a place at the Junior School. You must make a new application via E-Admissions for your child.

Appeals
You have a legal right to appeal against a decision not to offer your child a place at any or all of the schools you have applied for (whether that is for Reception or an in-year admission at any other point in their time at Infant school), even though your child may have a place at another school. If you wish to make an appeal regarding admission decisions, please refer to your local authority's policy / website for more information.
