Information below explains this process.<\/p><p>For in-year i.e. admissions to a year group part way through the\u00a0school year, please contact the school directly for information.<\/p><p>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&#8217;s education.<\/p><p>Please see our admissions information.\u00a0How 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\u00a0school&#8217;s admission arrangements\u00a0are\u00a0followed.<\/p><p>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.<\/p><p><strong>More information<\/strong><\/p><ul><li><a
