Admissions

Applications to the school are made through the Hampshire County Council Admissions Web Page: Admissions - Hampshire

As an Aided Church of England School, we have our own Admissions Policy which explains all admissions arrangements, how we consider applications for every year group, over-subscription criteria (if required) and how we offer places should there be more applicants than places.

Please see below our Admissions Policy for 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25. This includes a supplementary application form at the end of the document which is used in addition to the Hampshire County Council On-Line process, if you intend to apply on faith grounds.

Please call the school office is you require any further information about our school’s admission arrangements.
