Admissions
We are a small, friendly and highly inclusive one form entry school. We welcome children whose families attend a local church or other faith institution as well as those who live in our locality.
We offer 30 places in our Reception class
From time to time in year places are also available, so please contact our School Office for more information.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and faith traditions. We do, however, expect our families to be fully supportive of our school as a Christian foundation and understand that our core values of KINDNESS, WISDOM, RESPECT, JOY and PERSEVERANCE are at the heart of all we do.
