Further information and information leaflets are available online from www.devon.gov.uk/admissions   

 

School Admissions Online

You can apply from home 24 hours a day, seven days a week for a place in our new Reception intake - it’s quick and easy to use and there is no risk that your application will be lost in the post. You can apply for an Infant or Primary School place by clicking on www.devon.gov.uk/admissionsonline 

 

In-Year Admissions

A number of our children join the school after the beginning of the Reception year as a result of transferring schools or moving into the area. Parents of such children are encouraged to make an appointment in advance if possible to visit the school. Parents must then apply via Devon admissions online: 

 https://new.devon.gov.uk/educationandfamilies/school-information/apply-for-a-school-place/apply-for-an-in-year-place/ or phone Devon to ask for a paper form. 

 

The same criteria will be used if we need to prioritise applications for a place at the school outside of the normal Reception admissions round. 

If your child is successful in securing a place they will be given buddies to look after them when they join us. We also encourage your child to visit our school before they start and if possible to have some taster sessions where they stay for a morning or afternoon.  

The designated area or catchment area map for our school can be found by following: www.devon.gov.uk/schoolareamaps
