Admissions Information
Admissions to the school are managed by North Yorkshire Council in line with the School Admissions Code and Fair Access Protocols. This applies to places when children would normally start school (the Reception year) and to children who may join the school after this time (for example, as the result of a house move).
Published Admission Number
The planned number of places (PAN) for Reception in the coming September is 30.

You can object to the schools adjudicator because you consider a school’s admission arrangements:
- are unlawful
- do not comply with the school admissions code
If your concerns are about the admission arrangements for a year other than the current academic year, make it clear to which year’s arrangements you are referring.
