SECTION THREE: FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS OF PUPILS COMING FROM OVERSEAS

This section is for families whose children are either being sponsored under a Tier 4 visa, or who are coming to Dean Close (DCS) from an overseas location. A pre-sessional programme is available for pupils who require 14 days quarantine (please sign up before 31 July). Pupils are also able to quarantine separately to DCS but all families must ensure that the School is made aware as soon as possible of all travel arrangements once they are confirmed. Pupils not requiring quarantine are able to attend DCS from 2.00pm on Sunday 6 September for an Overseas Induction.

The EU Settlement Scheme guidance is for pupils attending DCS from European countries; due to forthcoming Brexit changes as of January 2021.

Pre-Preparatory _(2-7)

Dean Close Pre-Preparatory School, fondly known as the ‘Squirrels’, is set in the beautiful grounds of Dean Close School, in a modern, purpose-built building. We have excellent facilities and resources and also benefit from being able to share in the outstanding Preparatory and Senior School facilities on site. We understand that a child’s first experience of school is a vital step in their learning journey, developing the knowledge, skills and self-confidence which lay the foundations for their lives.
