If you would like to apply for a place in our Nursery setting, please complete our application form and return it to the school as soon as possible. These are available from the School Office.
I would like to remind all Parents/Guardians that just because your child has a place in our Nursery, this does NOT guarantee them with a place in our school Reception class. You must still follow the admissions procedure and complete the appropriate application forms.
Admissions to this school will be determined by the Governing Body. Parents/Guardians must complete a Local Authority Preference Form or apply online here.
If you wish to have your application to be considered against that school’s faith/denomination criteria, then you should ALSO complete the Supplementary Form, which is available from the school, or download it below.
All preferences listed will be considered on an equal basis, and where there are more applications than the number of places available, the school’s oversubscription criteria will be applied.
To read more about our Admissions Policy for 2023-24, please see below.
Our Admissions Policy 2024-25 is also below.
Admissions Appeals
Each year our school has more applicants for Reception than there are places within the school available. When this happens, our governing body applies the oversubscription criteria shown in our Admissions Policy. Our ranking list is then matched with parents’ preferences, and the first 30 that match are informed that their child has a place in our school. Children not in this first 30 are then kept on a waiting list.
