Admission Arrangements

 

Admission to school for Reception year is dealt with by South Gloucestershire Council.   Families resident in South Gloucestershire must complete the online form via the Council's website. You can find out more about the arrangements and how to apply on their website.  The year before your child is due to start school we organise several open sessions for you to have a look round the school  Our website will be updated in mid September with the dates we have available.

 

Starting full-time education

 

At present children may come to the school in the September followng their 4th birthday.  They must be 4 at the beginning of the Autumn Term.  Legally, children must attend school the term after their 5th birthday.

 

Visits are arranged during the Summer Term for new Reception children and parents/carers to meet the teaching staff.  Meetings and home visits are also arranged for parents/carers to tell us about their child and ask questions.  The children come in gradually at the start of term to give them the best start.

If you wish to apply for a place at the school once your child has already started full-time education, the South Gloucestershire  website also includes the form to apply for an in-school place.  It is advisable to contact the school first to check if we have any spaces in the class you wish to apply for.  Before applying, please contact the office to arrange a visit.
