2026/2027 Admission policy

A child can start school in the September of the year in which they are 5 years of age. Applications for admission to our school for a September intake is through the Somerset County Council website link –  Primary Admissions

Mid-year applications for a place at the school can be made through the school. We advise you to contact the school for information about available places in year groups initially. Visits to the school are always welcome, especially if you are looking for a place for your child. We have an extensive site for a village school which is not immediately apparent from the roadside aspect.

We have a planned admission limit in each Year Group. The limits are set in order to ensure that our school is able to run as efficiently as possible with the resources that we have.
