Our Published Admission Number (PAN) is 120 pupils in each of the four years and we are currently up to (or exceeding) our PAN in all years.
All applications to our school are ranked against our oversubscription criteria and places are offered on that basis. For more information on our oversubscription criteria, please see document below.
Once a sibling link has been broken, sibling priority will be permanently lost for that child regardless of any further address moves a family may make in the future.
