The school caters for children in the Charmouth, Monkton Wyld, Wootton Fitzpaine, Whitchurch Canonicorum, Ryall and Morcombelake areas as well as from further afield from the ages of 3 – 11 years. There is invariably pressure for places at the school and so it is important for parents to apply for a reception place via Dorset Council before the deadline for applications.
As a Local Authority Maintained school, the Dorset Council Admissions Policy applies; please see the link below for school admissions. Children can join the school in any year group when there is space. Families are encouraged to contact Dorset Council who manage the admissions for the school.
