Admission Arrangements - 2020 Intake
Whether you are considering a Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) admission or an admission at a later stage, the headteacher would be very happy to take you around our school. Please contact the office if you would like to make an appointment. Towards the end of the term before admission, parents are invited to an induction evening to meet the EYFS and other school staff and to hear more about starting school. Please see our EYFS pages for more information about starting school.

Transfer to High School
This occurs at the end of the academic year in which your child will be 11 years old (Your child must be 11 before 31st August). We work very hard to make the transition from Primary to High School as smooth as possible. The vast majority of pupils transfer to South Charnwood High School or Bosworth Academy.
