Admissions

Thank you for considering our school for the next step in your child’s educational journey. We are proud to be a warm, inclusive, and ambitious community where every student is supported to thrive.

Our main points of entry are at Reception and Year 7, where we welcome new learners into a nurturing and encouraging environment. However, we also recognise that families may need to join us at different times. In-year admissions are always welcomed, and we strongly encourage prospective students and their families to visit the school. Meeting our dedicated staff, experiencing our ethos first-hand, and seeing learning in action provides the best sense of what makes our school special.

Whether you are applying for a Reception place, transitioning to secondary school, or seeking a new start mid‑year, we are here to guide you through each step of the process. We look forward to getting to know you and helping your child settle confidently into school life.
