Join our School
Thank you for showing interest in
joining our wonderful school.
We are a full primary school, educating students from New Entrant through to Year 8. Children are entitled to start school the day they have their fifth birthday. They can start later than this at the parent's discretion.
We support children starting at Garston School with school visits as this will ensure the transition to school is as smooth as possible. Our junior team will schedule 3-4 visits before your child begins school. We also actively encourage school visits for older children who are starting at our school too. These can be arranged in advance with your child's new teacher.
