We welcome applications from children transferring from Infant, Junior and Primary schools.
Children joining us are supported through a transition process designed to help them settle quickly and confidently into school life.
Applying for a Nursery Place
Is Your Child Turning 3?
If your child is approaching their third birthday, or is already 3 years old, you can apply for a place in our Buttercup Nursery.
Applying for Secondary School
When your child enters Year 6, you can begin making your application for secondary school.
Applications typically open in early September and close at the end of October. Late applications can still be made, although this may limit the schools available to you.
