Admission Procedures – School Policy

The school’s published admission number for 2023-24 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.
