Entry guidelines

Where applications for admission exceed the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied, in
order of priority:

  1. Children in public care - children taken into public care via section 20 or 38 of the Children’s Act.
  2. Where the child has a sibling currently attending Dormers Wells Nursery, Infant School or Junior School.
  3. Where there are medical grounds (supported by a medical certificate) for admission.
  4. Exceptional family priorities (supported by a health visitor’s letter).
  5. Proximity of the child’s home to school, with those living nearer being accorded the higher priority, distance being measured as the crow flies.

Please contact the school for information on its admission criteria. Please also see information on primary admissions and applying for a primary school place.
