Is your child starting in Reception at school in September 2026?

On the 23rd October 2025, we have an open evening from 5 - 6:30pm.

In the week starting Monday 3rd November 2025, we will be holding new intake tours.

Please get in touch if you would like to attend these events.

Welcome to our prospective children and families.

Whether you are looking for information about starting school, or if you have had confirmation of your place at Drake, this is the place to get more information.

Starting school is a huge milestone, and it matters to our children and families that children are given the best start in this transition. We will support you in your decision-making and also, once you have found out where your child will be attending, we will be in contact with you to share our transition events.  

You should find everything you need to know here.
