In Year Admissions

If you are applying for a place in Reception during the year because you are wishing to change schools, or are applying for a place in Years 1-6, please contact school directly on 01706 873177 to find out if places are available. We are happy to admit pupils at any time during the school year providing we have places in that year group. You will need to complete an In Year Admissions Form, which can be found below. You will be notified of the outcome of your application within 10 school days, but this is normally sooner.
