The deadline for Early Years Foundation Stage applications was 15 January 2026 with the national offer day for primary school applications being 16 April 2026. The second round of offers will be made during the week beginning 26 May 2025, with all subsequent applications being processed on an individual basis thereafter. EYFS appeals for places in September 2026 should have been submitted to the school by 16 May 2026.

For entry in September 2027, primary school applications are expected to open around the start of November 2026 and close just after Christmas 2026. Offers will typically be sent out in mid-April 2027, with automatic acceptance, unless the Admissions Team are told otherwise by the parent. Appeals for EYFS places must be submitted by mid-May 2026.
