Admissions & Transitions

The school admission information below relates to our Reception September intake. Should you wish your child to join our school in any other year group or at any point in the year (known as a mid-year transfer), this is handled by the local authority. Information on how to apply for a mid-year transfer can be found here.

We aim to complete home visits for all our new starters, whether this is for our new Reception intake or mid-year transfers. This gives families a chance to hear important information about school before starting and ask any questions that they may have. It also means that we can start to get to know you and your child before they start with us.

Please note that it is important that you make a school place application even if your child is already in our nursery as this does not guarantee a place with us.

Nursery Admissions

Children can start in our Nursery from the term after their 3^rd birthday. If you wish to apply for a Nursery place, please complete an application form available from the school office. Please return completed forms to the school office.

We offer morning, afternoon and full-time sessions. We also accept payment from tax-free childcare accounts and offer funded 30-hour childcare places. Please contact the school office for further information on this or visit the government website here.
