Admission Arrangements
Parents and carers should be aware that the school publishes admissions arrangements covering three academic years at any one time, in line with statutory requirements. It is therefore important that you refer to the set of arrangements that corresponds to your child’s intended year of entry. For example, if your child is due to start school in September of a particular year, you should consult the admissions policy for that academic year of entry, rather than the year in which you are applying. Each set of arrangements may differ, so checking the correct year will ensure you have the most accurate and relevant information for your application.
