Enrolment
Temporary capacity management due to building works
Due to the current building works taking place over 2024/2025, we have limited capacity for accepting enrolments outside of the local area, and placements will be prioritised for those with a residential address closest to the school. Head to the below website and type in your home address into the search bar to check the proximity of your home to the school. If you are outside the local area, enrolment may still be possible dependant on numbers, and confirmations of enrolment will be sent out approximately 6 months prior to your child commencing school.
