Applying for an infant school place for 2025

The deadline to apply for an infant school place for September 2025 is 15th January 2025.

You need to apply for a primary school place the year before your child is due to start. All children must be in education the term following their fifth birthday, so most children start when they are four.

Choosing a school for your child is a very important decision. Please take some time to look around our website to get a feel of our school. We also offer tours of our school, which are conducted by members of our senior leadership team, and are an opportunity to look around our school and learn more about our ethos.

Tours of our school will take place on the following dates:

Thursday 3rd October, 10am - 11am - NO SPACES, FULLY BOOKED
Thursday 10th October, 10am - 11am
Tuesday 15th October, 10am - 11am
Tuesday 22nd October, 10am - 11am
Thursday 24th October, 10am - 11am
Thursday 7th November, 10am - 11am
Wednesday 13th November, 10am - 11am

If you would like to join us, please email office@courthill.coastalpartnership.co.uk, stating:
