We invite parents of children who are due to start school in September 2025 to join us for one of our open days or a personalised tour.
We love to be able to show prospective parents and pupils around our school. Following the visit, if your child is already in education you will be given an 'In Year Transfer Form' to complete and return. If your child is starting school in Reception you will need to complete the starting school application form and return it to Herefordshire Council in Plough Lane, Hereford. If your child is joining us in nursery we will accept your application via the school.
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us and ask.
