These changes will be available to be viewed from 7 July 2022. Please check your catchment school prior to making an application. This is only relevant for nursery and reception.
Applicants are advised to ensure that their application is submitted by the relevant closing date. If you submit your application late, it will be less likely that your child will be able to attend the school of your choice.
