Spaces Available

OWN Trust Primary Schools admit children from Reception up to Year 6, with the hope to welcome Nursery aged children in the very near future.

This means that your child may start with the new reception intake in September, or move schools to join an OWN Trust School at any point in the year, depending on the spaces we have available.

The number of in-year places varies throughout the year. We always welcome new children joining our schools, so please ask us about spaces, and we will be glad to advise you.
