Admissions
Primary School applications for September 2027-28
Your child will be eligible for a Primary School place from September 2027, if they were born between:
1st September 2023 and 31st August 2024.
You will be able to make your application from 18th November 2026 until the closing date of 15th January 2027.
Offers of Primary School places for September 2026 will be made on 16th April 2027.
We will be holding Reception Open days throughout the Autumn term. Dates will be posted in September. These appointments will be opportunities to see the school in action, meet our staff and see the children who are currently in the setting. The children will get opportunities to visit their school once a place has been allocated.
We admit up to 30 pupils each year into our Reception class. Once a place has been allocated at school, we will invite parents to an information evening to explain everything that you and your child will need to know before they begin. Children will also be able to visit their new class and teacher before September. These events happen in June and July.
You will find useful documents for admission to our Reception class below.
