Please note this is an online application system. Parents interested in a place at our school are encouraged to visit the school and also to complete a school admission form.

The deadline for FIRST TIME ADMISSION is 15th January 2026 for pupils who will be four years old on 31st August 2026. We will host an Open Day in the Autumn Term for prospective new families to visit our school. 

Pupils due to transfer to secondary education will be contacted by the Education Authority early in the Autumn Term. 

Currently, our planned admissions number for each year group is thirty.

Some of our classes are full, so anyone considering making a mid-year application for a place for their child in EYFS to Year 6 inclusive is strongly advised to consult with the Headteacher before making any significant commitments.

Entry to our Foundation (4+) stage at the start of each academic year is not affected.
