Admissions
Admissions Information We hope that you and your child/ren will want to come and join our friendly school family. If you haven't already done so, please call and arrange to come and meet us and have a look around our lovely school. Please follow the link to see our current Admissions Policy in full detail. In our school the Governing Body is the admitting authority. This is because we are a Voluntary Aided Primary School. This means that the Governing Body decides who is admitted to our school using the criteria in our policy. However North Yorkshire County Council co-ordinates our admissions arrangments on behalf of the Governing Body. Please note: we have applied for a variation to our September 2021 and 2022 admission arrangements in respect of the over-subscription criteria relating to attendance at worship whilst places of worship have been closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The requested change would make it clear that the attendance requirements will be disapplied for periods during which the relevant place of worship is closed and no alternative premises have been available for public worship. We are anticipating that this variation request will be approved shortly and will upload the revised policy here as soon as we receive confirmation of approval. September Admissions We admit children into our Reception in one intake in the September of each year. We admit any child who will turn 5 during the academic year. Children are invited into school for a number of visits before starting school, and a playgroup visit is made to each child so that they can meet their new teacher in a familiar setting. Children attend school part-time on a phased programme over the first four weeks, if you feel your child needs to start full-time then please come and discuss this with us. To start your child in September in Reception please follow the link below to North Yorkshire County Council Admissions for Primary places.

We also like to offer a familiarisation day to your child before starting with us.
