If you are thinking of sending your child to our school as part of an in-year transfer from another school, please complete the Telford and Wrekin Council In Year Transfer form, which is on the T&W website.
Upon receipt of an application form from the Admission's Department, we complete and return this to them within 5 school days (term time only) wherever possible. They then notify parents of the outcome of their application (within 15 school days of the application being received from the parent wherever possible). If you would like your child to join our school, please follow the links below to the Telford and Wrekin Council website (link above).
Due to Covid-19 we are unable to hold visits to our school for prospective parents. Our EYFS/Y1 Phase Leader has created this on-line presentation to give you an insight into EYFS.
