    Admissions policy

    We know it can be a helpful part of the decision process to know where our pupils joined our school from in Reception and also where they go on to after year 6.

    The table below shows that our children in EYFS this year come from a broad range of settings. We recognise this and we’re quick to support children to settle in. We help them to both maintain previous friendships from nursery whilst also supporting children to form new ones too!

    Myth Busting

    We understand that word-of-mouth plays a key role in helping parents to select the right school for their children. Occasionally, some myths circulate and so we want to take time to assure you of the facts about our school. 

    Please also have a look around our website to support your decision-making process. We have lots of additional information under the "Key Information" tab at the top of the page.  Our School Facebook page also offers insight into what life is like here at our school and can be accessed by clicking this link:
