Key Dates
Children starting school (or moving up to the Junior School) in September 2023
If you are looking at this page because you are interested in your child attending the school, welcome!
Buckinghamshire Council organise our admissions and appeals. Parents should contact them directly to discuss applications.
There are set criteria for admission that have to be followed in the allocation of places. These criteria are decided by the Council giving priority to children for example who are looked after or have an education health care plan as well as catchment children. If you want further details about this, please look at the Council website link at the bottom of this page.
Each year we provide a timetable of the important dates as your child gets ready to start school for the first time or if they are moving from an Infant to a Junior school (Year 2 to Year 3 transfer).
