Parents of children due to start in Reception at Telford Infants in September 2022 are welcome to apply for a place at SMILES once they have formally been offered and have accepted a place at our school by Warwickshire Admissions Service.

We are expecting offers to be issued by Admissions on 19th April 2022.

Places at SMILES are offered on a first come first served basis and get filled up very quickly. To avoid disappointment we recommend you apply as soon as you have accepted your place with Admissions.

Once offered a place at SMILES, our new Reception children start attending the club once they are in school full time.
