Admissions
Information concerning the general arrangements in Northumberland is given separately in a County education booklet, copies of which are available for parents of pupils who are stating or transferring schools next September. This includes a copy of the County Admissions Policy.
We ask that parents register pupils for our Nursery as soon as possible after their child's second birthday. Registration froms are available from the school office.
All parents, whether in or outside the school’s catchment area, must fill in a School Preference form. This should be returned to County Hall in early December at the latest, prior to their child entering school and again when transferring to Middle School. Forms are available from the school office.
Children from our school usually transfer at the age of 9 to Chantry Middle School.
At the age of 13 most children transfer to The King Edward VI School.

Transferring
At the end of Year 4, pupils in Northumberland transfer to Middle School. In the September prior to leaving us, you will receive a transfer to Middle School form from Northumberland County Council (NCC). This form must be returned to school as soon as possible. The form allows you to enter your preferences for the Middle School you wish your child to attend.
In Spring, NCC will send you a letter confirming which school your child has been allocated a place at. Reply slips attached to these letters must be returned to the relevant Middle School. If you wish to appeal against any decision this should be taken up with Northumberland County Council.
We work very closely with our local Middle School and as the children progress through Key Stage 2 they have many opportunities to attend events and meet their future teachers and fellow pupils.
