The following applications will be treated as In-Year Admissions:
- applications for admission to Reception which are received after 1 September in that school year
- all other applications for admission to Reception to Year 6
If there is a waiting list, priority will not be given on the basis of the date an application was added to the list. All applications are ranked in line with the oversubscription criteria, in order of priority, as set out in the published admission arrangements. Each time a new applicant is added, the waiting list will change in line with the oversubscription criteria, in order of priority, as set out in the published admission arrangements. The waiting list is not determined until the Admissions Committee meet to decide upon the offer of a place when a vacancy arises. At this point an offer will be made.
If you wish to make an in year application please complete the online form below. Alternatively, you may request a hard copy from the school office. Please read the admission arrangements before completing an application.
