Admissions
As a Church Aided Primary School, we are our own admissions authority and are therefore required to produce and publish an Admissions Policy.
Our current policies can be found at the bottom of this page, as well as on our 'Policies' page.
There are no faith criteria for attendance at our school and therefore completion of a Supplementary Information Form (SIF), sometimes requested by church aided schools, is not required.
When should my child start school?
Children reaching the age of 5 between 1st September and the 31st August are admitted in September. There is no obligation for a child to start full time until the term after his/her 5th birthday. The term before starting in the Reception class, children will be invited to attend school for regular sessions, and all new parents will be invited to an informal meeting with the Headteacher.
In year applications can be made at any time during the year.
All applications for places, should be made directly to Hampshire County Council.
A link is provided for your convenience below.
Alternatively, you can complete a hard copy form and send this to the Admissions Department.
This document is also provided for you below.
Prior to making an application, we suggest that you make an appointment to visit the school and to meet the Headteacher.
Once your application has been made to and accepted by Hampshire County Council, a start date will be agreed between the school and yourselves. You will then receive formal written confirmation of your place from our school, along with accompanying paperwork and information about our school.
