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 here.
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.
