Dear Parents/Carers of Year 6 children,
Following our previous information sent on the School Jotter App in July. Please be reminded the closing date for applications is now 31 October 2025 - this is a significant change from last year’s deadline.
It is essential that families apply on time to give them the best chance of being offered one of their preferred schools.
