Important points to consider…

​

  • If you live at a Stoke on Trent postcode, even though we are a Staffordshire school, you can still name us as a first preference – the only difference is that you would apply via Stoke on Trent Admissions. Stoke admissions send all our applications to the Staffordshire admissions team and they are all considered against our admissions criteria at the same time.

  • A large % of our children come from Stoke on Trent postcodes so please don’t let this put you off.

  • Admissions strongly advise you to make more than one preference.  You will not gain an advantage by only listing one.

  • Do not list the same school 3 times.

  • Admissions consider all applications at the same time.  Priority is not given to those who put the school as a first preference, or on a ‘first come first served’ basis.

  • If you miss the deadline, contact your relevant Local Authority admissions team to make a late application as soon as possible.

  • Even if you have an older sibling at the school you must apply for the younger one.

​

For places in other years groups within the academic year:

​

The school deals with its own mid year admissions. If you wish to apply for a place in one of our current year groups please get it touch with the school office.
