We warmly invite you to arrange a visit to see our school in action!
Making an application
Applications for admission to the school for September 2027 should be made online between 1st September 2026 and 15th January 2027.
It is not normally possible to change the order of your preferences for schools after the closing date. Parents must complete the Local Authority electronic form, stating three preferences.
Parents who wish their application to this Church school to be considered against the faith criteria must also complete the Supplementary Form.
If the school is oversubscribed, a failure to complete the Supplementary Form will result in your application for a place in this school being considered against lower priority criteria as the Governing Body will have no information upon which to assess the worship attendance.
The Supplementary Information Form is available from the school and should be completed and returned to the school.
Emails informing parents of whether or not their child has been allocated a place will be sent out by the Local Authority on 16th April 2027. Parents of children not admitted will be informed of the reason and offered an alternative place by the Authority.
Admission procedures Arrangements for admission have been agreed upon following consultation between the Governing Body, the Diocesan Board of Education, Local Authorities and other admissions authorities in the area.
The number of places available for admission to the Reception class in the year 2027 will be a maximum of 30.
