Starting School
Children are eligible to start in our Reception class in the September following their fourth birthday.
Our Published Admission Number (PAN) for entry into Reception is 28 pupils.
We are always pleased to welcome prospective families to our school. If you would like your child to attend our school, we encourage you to visit us during the working day, meet the Headteacher and staff, and ask any questions that may be relevant to your child’s individual circumstances. Please contact the school office to arrange a personal tour.
Applying for a School Place
If you live in Hampshire, applications for a Reception place should be made through Hampshire County Council using the Common Application Form.
Applications can be made online via the Hampshire County Council Admissions website:

If you live outside Hampshire, you should apply through your home local authority.
Applications received by the national closing date will be considered alongside all other on-time applications. Late applications will normally be considered after on-time applications have been processed, unless exceptional circumstances apply. Parents will be notified of the outcome by Hampshire County Council on the published notification date.
