The full admission arrangements can be accessed from the school website or by contacting the school office to request a hard copy.  Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application.

 

If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list and further information relating to this will be included in the letter sent from the school advising you of the outcome of your application.  Please see the admission arrangements for more details.
