Admissions

Can I get my child into this school?

Wolverhampton hasn't published a last distance for this school. Places may be given on other criteria, such as faith, selection or siblings: check the school's admissions policy. We do not draw catchment maps.

This school is in Wolverhampton. You apply through the education LA where you live, even if that is a different council.

DfE did not publish reading, writing or maths progress for 2023/24 or 2024/25. These year groups had no KS1 assessments (cancelled in 2020 and 2021), so progress could not be calculated. Attainment figures above are still published.
