Below you will see our determined admissions policies. There is one for each academic year. We consult annually on our policies, between the beginning of November and January.
Applying to come here
Once you decide you would like a place you must make a formal application. You can do this by applying to the Local Authority (Devon County Council).
If your child is due to start Reception (Foundation Stage) children are offered places to start in Reception at the beginning of the September term after their fourth birthday, even if they intend to defer admission until later in the academic year.
The Local Authority
Devon County Council publishes information about admissions and its own policies to support the admissions application and appeals process. This is at www.devon.gov.uk/admissions
