(If your child was born between 1 September 2020 and 31 August 20201 they are due to start primary school in September 2025.)
Once you decide you would like a place you must make a formal application.
Most children join our school at the normal round, the main intake into school from the start of September in Foundation. As a parent, you can apply for a place with the Local Authority.
There are different options for parents of children starting school in Foundation. This includes part-time education and deferring or delaying admission until later in the Foundation year or, for children with birthdays in the summer term, to the following September. Come and talk to us if you are considering this. Do also contact us if you are interested in a place in a different year group for any reason.
Applications for residents of Devon are made between 15 November and 15 January for primary schools at

St Christopher’s Multi Academy Trust is the admissions authority for our school. It has responsibility for the admissions policies and decisions on applications for admission. We have an admissions policy for each academic year and they will be published on this page when they are proposed for consultation and after they have been determined annually. They are written to comply with the School Admissions Code and School Admissions Appeals Code.
We take part in the co-ordinated admissions schemes of Devon County Council. Devon County Council publishes information about admissions and its own policies to support the admissions application and appeals process. This is at www.devon.gov.uk/admissions
Applications can be made online at www.devon.gov.uk/admissionsonline
Or by using the forms available at:

You can find our admissions policies below - we review the school policy annually and may make changes if we feel this would be in the best interests of the school and our community.
Each academic year has its own policy document, with details about how to apply for a place in school.
