Admissions
Applications open on November 1st 2025 - apply for your child to attend a brand new primary free school which is part of an established Trust!
We will work closely with parents and local nursery settings, ensuring that pupils are familiar with the staff and setting before starting, and that we are aware of pupils' needs and have the right support and provision in place for them. This will involve visits to settings and conversations with key workers, parent meetings and transition events for pupils to attend so that we can build up profiles.
The school will adopt fair and transparent admissions arrangements, in line with the School Admissions Code.
The school has an admission number of 30 for Reception in September 2026. It will admit this number of pupils if there are sufficient applications. If fewer than 30 applications are received, all applicants will be offered a place.
The Academy Trust will admit any pupil with an Education, Health and Care plan which names the school.
Warwickshire County Council welcome applications for primary school places from 1st November 2025. Applications are via their online portal, and further information can be access by clicking the link below:
