Proposed admissions policy for community and voluntary controlled primary schools - 2023/2024

An admission number will be published showing the maximum number of pupils that the school will admit in the Autumn Term 2023.   Parents are given the opportunity to express three preferences for a primary school. Published criteria are used to decide which children should be offered the available places.  In primary schools, an equal preference scheme is operated to comply with the Schools Admission Code, whereby three parental preferences are given equal status and are considered equally against the admissions criteria.
