Admissions

Here at Christ Church C of E Primary School, the Local Authority is responsible for managing the admissions process.  To ensure the best chance to secure a place at our school, it is essential that you meet the admissions criteria of our school as closely as possible. If you are applying on religious grounds remember to complete the required form or write expressing your reasons for applying on these grounds.  

 

Children must, by law, start school at the beginning of the term after their fifth birthday.  However, children usually start school in the September in which they have their fifth birthday.
