Admissions
Admissions to our School are controlled by the governing body. A copy of the admissions policy can be downloaded here and from our policy page. Each of our classes has places for up to 30 children except nursery which has 26 places. If your child was born between 1st September 2021 and 31st August 2022, then they will start school in September 2026.
Guidance for applying for a Primary School place can be found by clicking this link to the local authority website.
