Full-time school

Children are admitted to school in accordance with Telford and Wrekin Admissions Policy. Reception children start full time school in September in the year that they have their 5^th birthday. The Local Authority will issue application forms in the year before your child starts school.

We have a maximum of 60 children per year group and a legal limit of 30 children in each class. If you are new to the area we encourage you to make contact with us about spaces available for your child(ren). Admission to the school at any time is coordinated by Telford & Wrekin Local Authority.

Please contact school admissions by emailing: admissions@telford.gov.uk

 

Moving on to Year 3

Children who attend our school normally transfer to Donnington Wood C of E Junior School. We work closely with the Junior School during the year and specific visits to the Junior School are arranged for parents and children during Year 2. The Local Authority manages the admissions procedure.

 

 

Nursery

 

 

 

If you would like to send you child to our school or Nursery then we would love you to make an appointment to visit and have a look round. 

As places can be limited we strongly advise you to register your child (in the school office) as soon as possible. We will write to you when it is nearly time for your child to start in Nursery and give you more details and information. If we are not able to offer a place we will keep your child’s name on a waiting list so we can offer a place as soon as one becomes available.
