Admissions

We aim to instil a life-long love of learning, giving our pupils the confidence to flourish in an ever-changing world. Our school is a secure and nurturing environment where all teachers, parents, governors and visitors to our school are respected, valued and supported.

We believe our greatest asset is our children and young people and we are proud of their many achievements and their personal growth. Our pupils develop into responsible, happy and confident young people. Through the high quality of education they receive and the support and care from home and school working together, they will literally have the best life chances possible.

Appeals for Year R (Academic Year 2025 – 2026)

Appealing an offer

You can appeal for any school named on your application that has not been able to offer your child a place.

To do this you will need to complete an appeal request form.

The deadline for submitting an appeal is Tuesday 17th May 2025 for offers made on 15th April 2025.

For late applications, appeal requests should be submitted within 20 school days of your application outcome.

You can appeal after these deadlines but your appeal might not be heard at the same time as those submitted on-time.

When you appeal you:

  • can only appeal for schools named on your application
  • can appeal for more than one school at the same time
  • must complete a request form for each school you're appealing for
  • can appeal for a school even if you have accepted another offer.

Schools will not know you have appealed for another school unless you tell them. The appeals for each school are completely independent of each other.
