We are delighted that your child has been offered a place at Leatherhead Trinity School and Nursery in our September 2024 Reception cohort. If you haven’t done so already, please remember to formally accept your place through Surrey County Council.

As Leatherhead Trinity’s Headteacher, I am privileged to work with a committed and enthusiastic staff team who will do everything they can to make your child’s transition to school a success.  I am looking forward to meeting all new pupils and their parents and carers over the coming months.

We believe that the best way to support students in fulfilling their potential is for the school and parents and carers to work closely together.  For new families, we hope this will be the beginning of a very happy and successful relationship. Please see below information which will guide you on our reception intake.
