Admission Procedures – School Policy
The school’s published admission number for 2025-26 is 30.
The current policy is that children whose fifth birthday falls between 1st September and 31st August each year will be admitted to school in the September of that year.
Admission arrangements are discussed in detail with all parents prior to admission to ensure that parents are fully informed and involved in this important milestone and to make certain that all pupils settle into school life quickly and happily. A comprehensive Pre-School programme operates between May and July and there are many opportunities to meet staff and discuss both admission arrangements and the Early Years Curriculum.
Changing schools during the school year
To move your child to a different school you must apply for an in-year admission.
This is different from an application for the usual transfer points, starting reception year of primary school or year 7 of secondary school.
Before you apply to change schools, you will need to speak to the current school and the school you intend to move to.
If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list and you have the right of appeal.
