In Year Admissions

We welcome in-year admissions to all year groups.  The process for this is different however, as it is not led centrally by the County Council Admissions Team.  In the first instance, we would recommend that you contact us directly to arrange a time to come and look around and have a chat with the headteacher.  You will then need to submit an  in-year admissions form and return it to the school office.

For Oscar Nursery Admission

Please contact the school office on the above contact details. We will be happy to make you an appointment to look around our nursery.
