The admission level set for this school is 8 pupils per year.

The school welcomes visits from prospective parents.  Please contact the school and a member of staff will be pleased to help you make an appointment.

The school encourages total integration. Where children with special needs are to be admitted, consultation will take place with the parents, the LA, the Educational Psychologist and any other relevant parties.

New starters will be invited to come to school for a minimum of 2 sessions towards the end of the term prior to their start date. Parents will have an opportunity to raise issues with the Infant teacher and to talk through concerns they or the child may have about starting school.  It is also an opportunity for the Infant teacher to set out their expectations for new starters.

Changing school at other times
