Admissions

Deciding on the right school for your child is an important decision and we hope that you find that the information you require on this website. However, there is no substitute for first-hand experience, and you are invited to contact the school office asking for Mrs Elizabeth Harding to arrange a visit.

Applications to our school are subject to our admissions policy which can be downloaded below:
In addition, for applicants for our school who wish to apply on faith grounds you must fill out a ‘Supplementary Information Form’ (SIF) and return to Local Authority by the same date. A copy of this form is downloadable here.

Application Process for new intake September 2026

There is a major change to the Admission to Reception Process for September 2026, for families that live in the BCP area, that you need to be aware of. The application process for BCP residents will now open from Saturday 01 November 2025. This has changed to give parents more time to decide on the right school for their child before the applications open. The closing date is Thursday 15 January 2026.

For families resident in the BCP area, parents can apply online via the Parent Portal at

 https://bcp.cloud.servelec-synergy.com/Synergy/ApplyforaSchoolPlace.aspx  

from 01 November 2025 (please note this a new link as the Parent Poral has recently been updated and the previous link will no longer work). 

Parents who are having difficulty applying through the BCP Portal can contact the Admissions Team on 01202-123222 / 127963 in the first instance, and BCP staff will talk them through the system. Paper application forms can also be obtained directly from the Admissions Team after 01 November 2025.
