Admissions
Applications for September 2025
We welcome applications from all families - you do not need to be Catholic to be part of our wonderful school.
If your child's 5th birthday is between 1 September 2025 and 31 August 2026 then you will need to apply for a place at First, Infant or Primary School.
Applying for a place in Reception Class
The School Admissions Team at Staffordshire County Council allocate all school Reception class places - for further details on the admissions process including admission criteria, catchment areas, appeals etc please follow this link to Staffordshire County Council website. School Admissions do not issue application forms as the Service is keen to provide a paperless system in all its admissions processes wherever possible. Their website also gives details if you wish to apply for a mid-year transfer, but we would request that you contact the school first. |  |

In Year Admissions
We welcome in-year admissions to all year groups. The process for this is different however, as it is not led centrally by the County Council Admissions Team. In the first instance, we would recommend that you contact us directly to arrange a time to come and look around and have a chat with the headteacher. You will then need to submit an in-year admissions form and return it to the school office.
If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.
