Admission to school and nursery.
I am really pleased that you may be considering a place at our school or nursery for your child.
This is one of the most important decisions you have to make and I want to help you make the right choice in any way I can.
Below are a number of links to help you.
If you want to register your interest in our school please complete the register of interest form [click the link] and return it to school or call in and talk to us. [You will still have to apply for a school place through the Local Authority admissions process].
Click here to download the register of interest/school transfer form.
If you wish to apply for a place at our school mid year, [mid year admissions] please download our school transfer form or visit the Local Authority wesite here.
At our school we don't have 'open days' because we want you to see us as we are.
If you would like to look around our nursery or school please contact the school office and we will gladly make a time to show you around.
I look forward to meeting you and your child.
Mr Ward
Headteacher
Our admissions criteria [up to school year 2024-2025] is
- Looked after children.
- Children who have a brother or sister attending the school at the time of admission. A brother or sister is any child living at the same address.
- Baptized children, of a church which is a member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, whose parents wish them to attend a church school.
- Children living closest to school measured in a straight line as determined by the Local Authority.
***Please remember, if you want to submit supporting evidence including birth certificates, baptism and christening certificates, when requesting a school place it is parents responsibility to ensure school receives a copy, even if an application has been made ‘on line’.***
If your child attends our nursery you MUST still complete an admission form for school at the right time.
