Admissions in our School

We welcome applications from parents/carers of all faiths who would like their child/ren to be educated in a strong faith tradition with an inclusive ethos. Priority will be given to those families who have a signed Certificate of Catholic Practice that can be obtained from your Parish Priest. Please see our admissions policy for a list of criteria. 

Admissions are the responsibility of the Governing Body of the School.  All applications are ranked in order by Governors using the Admissions criteria set out in the School Admissions Policy.
