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.
