Our son thrives in this nurturing environment. Learning skills through the right combination of structure and play has helped him progress beyond my expectations. Communication is fantastic; teachers are exceptional. I cannot recommend St Gabriel's highly enough. (current parent)
Junior School
Applications for the Junior School, Reception – Year 6, can be made at any point during the academic year. Although we have no closing date for applications, we would recommend that you visit us and apply for a place at least a year before your child’s start date.
Most children join the Junior School at the start of the Autumn Term. However, we understand that family circumstances and work commitments do not always fit into the school year. Subject to a place being available, we welcome late applications for the Junior School.
Children in our Nursery, who are also registered for the Junior School, are given priority when allocating our Reception places.

St Gabriel's is responsible for instilling in me the belief that absolutely anything is possible if you work hard: at no point in my seven years at the school was I told anything I wanted to do was too ambitious. Be it getting into Cambridge, working for a Formula 1 team, taking a clarinet diploma and grade 8 piano on the same day, I wasn't once met with any suggestion that it would be too difficult or that I wouldn't achieve my goals. It is that endless support that has given me the can-do attitude that carries me so well today.
