Admissions

Entry in the Reception Year

Children usually start school in the September following their fourth birthday. You will need to apply for a school place by the January before they are due to start school.

We start all reception children on mornings for a couple of weeks while they settle in and learn our routines. Most children then come to school on a full-time basis, but when children are not yet ready for full-time education, we are happy for them to come on a part-time basis until ready.

Application forms and a great deal of helpful advice can be found on the Wiltshire Council website.

Entry in Other Year Groups

If you want your child to join us in a year group other than the reception year, you will need to complete a transfer form. You can get one from us, from your child’s existing school (if he/she is currently in a Wiltshire School), or from the Wiltshire Council school admissions team’s web pages. The completed form should be returned to Wiltshire Council. Please tell both us and your child’s existing school that you are considering a move.

There is more information about transferring schools on the Wiltshire Council website.
