Enrolments

Starting school at Tinwald is an exciting milestone! Our enrolment process ensures a smooth transition for new students, with support every step of the way  

Families living in the Tinwald School zone can enrol year-round, while pre-enrolment for new entrants includes a meeting to address questions, complete forms, and arrange pre-school visits. These visits help children adjust to their new environment and begin their learning journey confidently.

If you are currently residing within the Tinwald School home zone, your child is automatically eligible to be enrolled at our school. Enrolments for children who live in our zone are accepted throughout the year.

Beginning school is a significant milestone in your child’s life. We are excited to build a partnership with you, ensuring that your child has a smooth, enjoyable, and memorable transition into school. 

New entrants may be enrolled before their fifth birthday, but cannot legally attend school before that date. About three weeks before your child starts schoolyou will be contacted to arrange the enrolment meeting.  

At this meeting we fill out the forms and you will have the opportunity to ask questions, meet your child’s teacher, and visit your child’s new classroom. You are welcome to bring your child to this meeting. 

Please let us know of any special needs that your child may have so that we are able to consider them in the classroom. 

At the enrolment meeting we will also arrange some pre-school visits for your child. At Tinwald School there are usually three such visits. 
 
Visit times are:  
8:40-10:25 (visit 1) 
8:40-10:45 (visit 2)  
8:40-11:45 (visit 3) 
 
If these times are not suitable other times can be arranged.
