Starting school admissions round
Please note: starting school places have been offered subject to parents providing the allocated school with their child’s birth certificate. Please do not bring your child’s birth certificate to the school until the school has made contact with you.
If your child is unable to attend the allocated school from his/her start date, it's important that you discuss the reasons for the delay with the headteacher at the school.
If your child does not take up the place allocated, their place will be given to another child after ten school days. This process ensures that vacant school places are reallocated to other children promptly.
