Admissions
Choosing the right school for your child is a big decision for any family. Whether you are about to send your child to school for the first time, or moving into the area with older children, you are always welcome to come and have a look around our school. Please call or email the school to plan a visit.
How do I apply for a school place in Devon?
More information about admissions to schools in Devon can be found on the Devon County Council website by clicking on the following links:
Once you decide you would like a place, you must make a formal application. A fresh application must be made for children who are moving on from our Year 6 to their secondary school in Year 7.
Most children join our school at the normal round, the main intake into school from the start of September in Reception. As a parent, you can apply for a place in our school through the Local Authority.
Applications for residents of Devon are made between 15 November and 15 January for primary schools at www.devon.gov.uk/admissionsonline.
Applications for residents of Devon are made between 1 September and 31 October for secondary schools at www.devon.gov.uk/admissionsonline.
If your child lives in another LA, including Cornwall, you should apply through that council. The closing dates are the same nationally.
For questions about your child joining the school or just about the admissions process in general, please don’t hesitate to contact the school direct or contact Devon School Admissions Service on 0345 155 1019 or by email to admissions@devon.gov.uk.
Devon publishes guides to the admissions process: the Step-by-Step Guide and the In-Year Guide at www.devon.cc/prospectus
If you are interested in your child joining the school in-year (once the academic year has started), you can apply for a place through Devon County Council at www.devon.gov.uk/admissionsonline. There is a right of appeal and to a place on a waiting list for places where an application is refused.
