We invite all parents to view the school before accepting this is the school they wish their child to attend. It will be appreciated if an appointment is made so that someone can be available to show you around and answer any queries you may have. Appointments can be made by telephoning the school Secretary during morning sessions.

 Pupil Details Form

A pupil details form needs to be filled in for children due to start school. These forms are available from the school Secretary. This form is usually given to the parent on their first visit to enquire whether this is the school they wish their child to attend. When returning the completed form they should bring the relevant birth certificate to verify the date of birth.

 Initial Preparations
In the summer term before your child starts school you will be invited to meet the Reception Class Teacher.  This will be your opportunity to discuss with the teacher any worries you may have or to pass on any necessary information that you think we ought to know.

We also invite your child to attend school for either a morning or afternoon session during this term so that they may experience and become familiar with school life.

Transferring From Other Schools - mid year applications

If your child is transferring from another school we will wish to know the name and address of the school and the name of the Headteacher. This is so that we can contact them for forwarding your child's records as soon as possible. Obviously, it is courteous for you to notify your child's current school of the leaving date.
