Applying for a place at our school

All academies within the Trust participate in the co-ordinated admission arrangements operated by the local authority where they are located therefore our admissions procedure is the responsibility of West Sussex County Council. This means that you apply to them and the offer of a place is made in writing by them. Our pupil admission number (the maximum pupils we can take in one year) from September 2024 in Reception is 30.
