Admissions

Our school is part of PPAT Education and therefore our Governing Body forms part of the Academy’s admission authority. Our Planned Admission Number (PAN) is 16 children for the year of entry and places will be allocated up to this number.

School tours

If your child is starting school in Reception in next September or you would like your child to attend our school, we recommended booking a guided tour from Mrs. Moth, please call or email the school office to arrange this. We would welcome any visitors who would like to look around the school before applying. 

How to apply

Starting School

Somerset Local Authority is responsible for co-ordinating all first admission applications (starting school).  The Starting School booklet ‘A Guide for Parents’ is available on the Somerset County Council website.  This sets out the primary admission application process and a range of information about all schools and academies in Somerset.  School place applications can be made online at www.somerset.gov.uk/admissions or on paper application forms which must be returned to the School Admissions Team at Somerset County Council.  These can be downloaded from the website address above or obtained by calling Somerset Direct on 0300 1232224. 

Parents are responsible for ensuring they make a school place application by the closing date which is 15 January each year.
