Admissions-Applying for a School Place
Our admissions number for each year group is 20. In cases where this number is exceeded, the usual Local Authority selection process applies. If a child does not receive a place in the first instance, an appeals process is available.

The arrangements for the admission of pupils to primary schools in September 2025 will, as far as possible, conform to the following timetable.
Sunday 1 September 2024 - Apply from this date
School places are not allocated on a first come, first served basis. All applications received up to the closing date are given equal priority, but if you miss the deadline, a late application may reduce your chance of getting your preference of school.
Wednesday 15 January 2025 - National closing date for primary applications (statutory).
During this period all applications are processed and all preferences are considered against the published admissions policy. Where there are more applications than places available, decisions are made as to which children should be offered the available places. We will liaise and exchange information with all other admission authorities including neighbouring local authorities. The allocation and offer of a primary school place is finalised.
Wednesday 16 April 2025 - Offers issued to parents
(The national offer date is 16 April, if this date falls on a weekend or a bank holiday, offers are sent the next working day.)
