Deadline for applying for a primary school place

Children born between 1 September 2022 and 31 August 2023 are due to start primary school in September 2027. You can apply for a school place from 1 November 2026.

The deadline to apply is 15 January 2027.

The admissions process is different for children and young people who already have EHC plans.

However, if you have requested an EHC needs assessment, or this is underway, do still apply through admissions, as there is no guarantee the assessment will lead to an EHC plan.

Keep your child safe this Halloween.......

Candles and lit pumpkins create a fantastic spooky atmosphere but can be dangerous. So, keep them well out of the path of trick or treaters and away from any Halloween decorations that might catch light. And, in all the excitement, don’t forget to put them out when you’re done.

You could even use LED candles, glow sticks or torches to light up your pumpkins instead. Just make sure any button battery compartments are secure to prevent children from gaining access.

We’d love to see your pumpkin creations. Please share them with us.
