• Where there are places available, but more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements for 2025-26 will be applied. Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application.
• If there are no spaces available, the child will be added to the waiting list. Please see the admission arrangements for more details.
