Reception Admissions 2027/2028
The Reception Admission applications for September 2027 intake, will open on 2nd November 2026.
We have 60 places for admission into Reception each year and have one point of intake each September.
Our Reception places are for children who will become five years of age within the academic year in which they are in Reception.
If your child will turn 5 years of age between 1st September 2027 and 31st August 2028, then you will need to apply for a Reception place for your child between 2nd November 2026 and 15th January 2027.
Our Headteachers Mrs Mac Labhraí and Mrs Willis look forward to welcoming you to our wonderful Catholic Primary School at one of our Parent tours.
After the tours, there will be a brief talk and the opportunity to ask questions about our school and the application process.
