Application deadline for primary school places – a reminder
A reminder that the deadline for “on time” applications for a full-time place in the Early Years unit is approaching – parents and carers should apply by 15th January. Late applications can be made after this date, though these may be looked at after other applications.
Your child will usually start primary or infant school in the September of the school year they turn 5 – so if your child’s 5th birthday is between 1/9/17 and 31/8/18 you can apply for a place in reception for September 2017. For more details, why not have a look at our page all about admission arrangements?
If you have an enquiry about a part-time place for your child in the Early Years unit, please contact Mrs Deighton in the school office.
