Important: Places are offered according to the admissions criteria. Information on this can be found in our admissions policy which can be accessed here. In recent years the school has become increasingly popular. This meant for our most recent intake of reception children we were over-subscribed.
Our Nursery is also extremely popular and has limited availability. If you would like to enquire about a space in our nursery please contact the school office. Please note our nursery has its own admissions policy which can be viewed here. If you would like more information on joining our nursery, please click here.
