School Starters for 2027
We understand that choosing the right school for your child is an important decision, and we’d love the opportunity to show you what makes our school so special.
We have now added tour dates throughout Term 2, giving you the opportunity to meet our friendly staff, explore our learning environment, and see our school in action.
School tour dates
We are pleased to be able to offer tours around our school on the following dates:
- Thursday 12th November at 1:30pm
- Monday 16th November at 10:00am
- Monday 23rd November at 9:30am
- Thursday 3rd December at 1:30pm
Each tour, guided by our Headteacher Mrs Holmes, gives parents and children the opportunity to see our school as it really is and ask plenty of questions.
If your child is due to start school in September 2027, please get in touch to arrange a visit.
Admissions
For children starting school in Reception from September, admissions are managed by South Gloucestershire Admissions. Information below explains this process.
For in-year i.e. admissions to a year group part way through the school year, please contact the school directly for information.
Children are normally admitted to our Reception classes in the September following their fourth birthday. We admit children from many preschool settings in the area and have no influence over who is admitted to the school. We feel that it is really important that you come and visit our school when the children are here so that you can make an informed decision about your child’s education.
Please see our admissions information. How to apply for a place will be self-explanatory. Places for our school are limited, therefore, we advise that you submit your application before the closing date. If a year group is over-subscribed the school’s admission arrangements are followed.
Once your child has a confirmed place within our Reception classes, induction for parents and children takes place which includes an open evening for parents, and visiting days for pupils. This provides the opportunity for both the staff and parents to get to know each other, for questions to be answered and for the parents to feel confident about the positive start the children will be experiencing at our school.
