Admissions
If you would like your child to come join our school, you are welcome to come along and have a look round to see what we have to offer. We hold Open Day's once a term, please contact the school office for confirmation of these dates. Children generally join us at the beginning of the Reception year but we have new starters at any time too.
Applying for a place here is straightforward. If there are enough places then everyone who applies will be offered a place. We have arrangements in place though in case we are over-subscribed with criteria to prioritise applications if necessary.
All schools have a limited number of places they can offer in Reception for new children joining the school – this is called the Published Admission Number (or PAN). For us, this has been set at 9. If we receive fewer applications than the number of places available, then places can be offered to everyone who wants one. Only where we are over-subscribed with more applications for places than we have available, do we work with Devon using the over-subscription criteria in the admissions policy for the academic year. They are a part of our admission arrangements which will be determined annually after a public consultation, see the Devon County Council website for more details on admission arrangements.

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 on a Devon common application 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.
