Information booklet from Admissions

National offer day takes place in April and parents are notified by Telford and Wrekin Council if they have been offered a place at our school. We contact families by email in early May with our admissions information and create a new folder (below) with forms and further information.

We will be holding 3 open days for prospective parents to view the school (reception intake 2022-23). The open day will consist of a small presentation in the hall followed by a tour of the school and will last around 45 minutes. No need to book in advance, just turn up on the day! Please park on the road and walk to the pedestrian entry gate (left hand side) where our Head Teacher, Mrs Butler, will meet you at 9:30am. We look forward to seeing you.
