Admissions

If you have not already looked around the school then please contact the School Office. We do not offer open days but, instead, offer tours throughout the year. Please contac the School Office for available dates.

If, for any reason, you are unable to make a tour, we have also produced a Virtual Tour of our school that can be viewed from the Home Page of our website. Our Virtual Tour is a little out of date but hopefully will give you a flavour of how wonderful our school is!

We have 1 form of admission per year group, with a published admission number (PAN) of 30 children per class.

Applications for a place at our school (either starting school or for an in-year application) need to be made via Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC), details of how to contact them/ make an application can be found below:

Arrangements for the admission of pupils with disabilities

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 defines a disabled person as one who has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a persons’ ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. Most children with Special Needs will not be disabled within the meaning of the Act.

The admission of pupils with disabilities is considered in the first instance in the same way as non-disabled pupils. Further considerations are made in the light of need and accessibility. It is the School Governors’ Policy to accommodate pupils with disabilities should parents wish their child to attend the school. Steps are taken to prevent any pupils being treated less favourably than other pupils. In practice we ensure that classroom and extra-curricular activities encourage the participation of all pupils, including those categorised as having Special Educational Needs. Staff organise human and physical resources within the school to increase access to learning and participation by all pupils. The School strives to ensure that whatever the abilities and needs of members of the school community, everyone is equally valued and treats one another with respect under the Equality Act 2010.
