Admissions during the school year
We are a co-educational infant school and cater for children between the ages of 4 and 7.
Children usually start school in Reception Year in September of the school year in which they are 5. Please see "Starting School in Reception" for information about these main round applications.
Application Process
Hampshire residents applying for a school place for their child during the school year, whether it be Reception, Year 1 or Year 2.can find out more information here
https://www.hants.gov.uk/educationandlearning/admissions/applicationprocess/inyear
including an on-line application form. Paper application forms are also available from the school office as are Supplementary Information Forms, which need to be completed for Faith applications. Both forms can be posted out on request.
We will aim to notify parents in writing about the outcome of their application within 10 school days but we must do this within 15 school days.
Appeals Process
If we are unable to offer your child a place in the requested Year group you do have the have the right of appeal to an independent appeal panel against the refusal of a place.If you would like to appeal, please visit
www.hants.gov.uk/educationandlearning/admissions/guidance/appeals
to complete the online appeal form or contact the County Admissions Team on 0300 555 1377 to request an appeal pack by post.
In an infant class size appeal, a panel will only uphold the appeal where one of the following applies:
- It finds that the admission of an additional child would not breach the infant class size limit
- It finds that the school’s admission arrangements were unlawful, or were not properly applied, and the child would have been offered a place at the school if the arrangements had been lawful or had been properly applied
- It decides that the decision to refuse admission was not one that a reasonable admission authority would have made in the circumstances of the case
To find a decision to be unreasonable the panel would need to be satisfied that the decision to refuse admission was ‘perverse in the light of the admission arrangements’. In other words, the panel believes that no reasonable admission authority considering the matter could have come to the same decision.
