Nursery
Parents may register an interest in applying for a place in the school’s Nursery at anytime. The school will issue application forms, to those who have registered an interest in January for admissions the following September. Letters informing parents of whether or not their child has been allocated a place will be sent out by the school by the end of the term before admission is to take place.
Reception Class
Applying for a Place: Applications are made on-line as instructed by the Local Authority. Parents who wish special circumstances, siblings living apart or church attendance to be taken into consideration when applying for a place should also request and complete the school’s supplementary forms, which are obtained directly from the school. The closing date for returning these supplementary forms to the school will be the same as for the return of the Local Authority’s common application form. Letters informing parents of whether or not their child has been allocated a place will be sent out by the Local Authority by the April of the year of admission.
Please see our admission documents for more information.
