We follow the admissions criteria of the Eastern Multi-Academy Trust. A copy of the Trust’s admissions policy can be found on the Trust’s Policies page.

We are always happy to show prospective parents round the academy so that parents can get a feel of what our academy is like – please call us to book an appointment.

Children coming into reception year are admitted to school in September of the school year when they have their 5th birthday (i.e. between 1st September and 31st August).

During the summer term each year, we hold open afternoons for the September intake for reception and Nursery and there are also various opportunities for parents and new children to come into school to help with the settling in process.
