Applying for a school place.
Hampshire County Council manages our admissions process. Please visit their website for more information regarding how to apply, deadline dates of when to apply and how to appeal.
You can also apply for a place 'in year' via the above website. Once we have been advised that you have made an in year application, we aim to respond to your application within 10 days, but no later then 15. If you apply during the school holidays, your application will not be processed until the school is open.
If you are offered a place at our school, you will receive a letter from us explaining the documentation we need. We will also discuss a start date with you.
If you are refused a place at our school, your child will automatically be added to our waiting list. You can appeal the decision, or look for an alternative school place, via the admissions website.
Our current published admission number is 206;
Reception - 60 children
Year 1 - 60 children
