Useful Information:

In our Prospectus you will find information on:

  • the organisation of the school day
  • the school's admission arrangements
  • development of the whole child through the wider curriculum

The school's Admissions Policy provides further details on how places are allocated and our over-subscription criteria.  The governors and school will give priority to Reception applicants whose family can demonstrate commitment to the Anglican faith by regular Church attendance.   

If you are considering applying for a Nursery place, the Nursery fact sheet may also be helpful.
