Open Days
There is nothing better than first-hand experience when choosing your child’s school. It is so important to meet the school leaders, hear about their vision for the school and be able to ask questions about how the school’s provision will ensure your child’s potential is really fulfilled. See first hand the teachers and pupils interacting with each other.

Applying for a place
The arrangements for the admission of children to our school at age 4+ are made by East Sussex County Council. A detailed description of the arrangements is contained in the booklet ‘Admission to Primary Schools’
The admissions criteria for community and voluntary controlled schools are as follows:
Priority 1. Looked after children.
Priority 2. Children with an exceptional medical or social need for whom attendance at any other school would be inappropriate.
Priority 3. Children who will have a brother or sister at the school (or a linked infant or junior school) at the time of admission.
Priority 4. Children wishing to transfer between a linked infant and junior school.
Priority 5. Children living within a pre-defined community area.
Priority 6. Children living outside the pre-defined community area.
Tie breaker
If there are more children who qualify under an oversubscription criterion than places available, place allocation will be determined by prioritising applications within that criterion, on the basis of the shortest route from home to school using surfaced, passable routes.
