Admission to Reception

Juniper Hill is a Community school accommodating children from age four to eleven. The catchment area is the eastern part of Flackwell Heath.

Our school accommodation allows us to offer places to sixty children each year. Most years we have spaces for some children from neighbouring areas.

Children will be admitted to the Reception class in the September after a child's fourth birthday. There is a phased induction process at the start of term, with some of the younger children attending part-time if parents prefer, leading to full-time attendance by the October half-term.

The school’s admission policy is that of Buckinghamshire Council which manages the admission process. If the number of applications exceeds sixty, Buckinghamshire Council uses its criteria to decide which children are to be offered a place at Juniper Hill. Full details of this are available on the Buckinghamshire County website.

Applications for Reception places for September 2026 had to have been made by mid-January 2026. 

School Tours for children starting in September 2027 will be added below at the end of the Summer Term. 

Admission to the SEMH Unit (The Nest)

All children who have been allocated a place in The Nest have an Education, Health and Care Plan, (EHCP), places are allocated by the local authority. The Nest has 12 places for children aged 4 to 11 who have experienced trauma. Admissions are through the SEND team at Buckinghamshire Council and will be allocated following the formal consultation process. We do not offer regular tours of The Nest due to the needs of the children. For more information about The Nest please contact the school office and ask to speak to Mrs Lauren Long (Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion).
