Nursery transfer to Reception

Your child does not automatically transfer from Nursery into Reception.

You will receive a booklet via the Nursery Class Teacher; you will need to apply online for your child’s place.  No places are guaranteed and you must apply even if your child already has a place at our nursery.  If you do not follow the process in the booklet, you put your chance of getting a place at your preferred school at risk.

Year 6 transfer to Secondary School

You will receive a booklet via your child’s Class Teacher; you will need to apply online for your child’s place.  No places are guaranteed and you must apply before the closing date. If you do not follow the process in the booklet, you put your chance of getting a place at your preferred school at risk.

Reception/Secondary School applications

The Admissions Team offer as many places as possible based on the admission criteria as long as forms and requested documents are returned by the closing date.  If you do not fill in all sections of your form or you do not send the relevant documents to the Admissions Team your application will not be processed.

We strongly recommend completing all the options available for choice of schools, even if there are only a couple of schools that you would prefer.
