Our Waiting List is Now Closed

Date: 3rd Oct 2024 Author: Deborah Dumville

Last week, at our termly Trustees Meeting, the issue of our ever-increasing waiting list was discussed. We now have a total of 125 children on the waiting list. Sadly, the majority of these children will never get a 10th Royal Eltham place. Therefore, it was decided that we should temporarily close our waiting list with a view to reviewing at the end of each term.

It breaks our hearts that we are not able to accommodate more children in our Group but unfortunately due to child ratios for the number we leaders we have, it’s impossible for us to invite any new members at this stage. It will be reviewed at our next Trustees Meeting in the Spring.
