In Year Admissions for children already at Primary School
If you are a parent wishing to apply for a place for your child at our school you will need to complete the In Year Admissions Form . Please return the completed form back to school. You will need to fill in a separate form for each child. You will hear from us within 15 (school) days. If we are unable to offer a place we will confirm this to you in writing and you can choose to have your child’s name added to our waiting list until there is a space, at which point, the over-subscription criteria is applied to ascertain who the place is offered to.
