Reception & Nursery school tours and visiting Fielding

Open mornings and evenings for prospective parents and pupils wanting to join our school in September 2021 have been cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. We would like to welcome you to our school and meet you face-to-face but must limit visitors to the school site to keep our pupils safe in their class and year group 'bubbles'.

 

Watch our welcome and virtual tour by school leaders, teachers and pupils:

Admissions criteria

Ealing Council also publishes admissions criteria for all community Primary schools, including Fielding, each year.
