Please read our admissions arrangements carefully. If applying for a Reception place starting in 2027, you must complete an application through Brent (or through the local authority where you live).
You do not need to complete a SIF if you do not want a religious reference to be taken into account.

Princess Frederica is proud to be a popular school but this does mean that we receive more applications than we have places in Reception and are unfortunately not able to offer every child a place at the start of the school year.
We encourage parents to join our waiting list as places may become available later on in the year, for example when parents’ circumstances change. For the same reason, a limited number of places may also become available in later school years.
Applications for such places are referred to as ‘in year’ applications and should be made direct to the school, in the first instance. If you have an enquiry about ‘in year’ applications or about your child joining the waiting list for a place at Princess Frederica, please contact the school office by emailing pfadmin@lifefull.org or by calling 0208 969 7756. The office will be happy to provide you with an application for an ‘in year’ admission.
Choosing a secondary school is a big decision for you and your child.
Every year, some applicants are not offered one of their preferred schools, so it is extremely important to research your school options before submitting an application. Information about how places will be allocated can be found on Brent’s website:
