Admissions Policies
Admissions Policy
If you would like your child to attend our school, please see the full details of our admission arrangements below.
Applications for a place in a Reception class are made through Dorset County Council’s School Admissions Team. Applications are made from 1 September for the following academic year. Please contact the office staff for more information.
Sometimes children join the school later on in their school life. We make every effort to ensure they are welcomed, looked after, and monitored so that they quickly make friends and can find their way around the school. Teachers give children time to settle in before making an assessment of their academic abilities. This assessment, together with records from the previous school, will enable your child to have the best start in our school. Parents and carers are asked to contact the school if their child has difficulty settling.
The school must have sight of a full birth certificate before admitting a pupil to the school.
