The school’s standard number for entry is 30. If classes are not full, in year transfers are taken and children are awarded places in they are available. Where no places are available over subscription criteria are used to determine allocation of places.

Any parents wishing to visit school prior to applying for a place are most welcome.  Two open mornings will be advertised locally and on the school website during the autumn term each year.
