Stoberry Park School Admissions
A Child's first experience of school is a precious and memorable occasion. We therefore aim to ensure a smooth transition from home or pre-school to school, for both children and parents.​​​

Starting School in Reception Year
If you require a place for a child who is due to start school, follow this link to the Somerset County Council website: https://www.somerset.gov.uk/children-families-and-education/applying-for-school/apply-to-start-school-for-the-first-time/

​​
You will need to apply for a Reception school place by a date in the middle of January for the following September when they will start school. There is an option to complete the form online and this is usually the easiest option. You will also be notified of the outcome online which means you hear a little sooner than if you receive a reply by post. Parents usually find out which school their child has been placed in on 16th April.​
​
In Year Applications
If you are transferring from another school you can contact us directly to apply for a place. Forms are available below or from the school office. Please also contact us here or by phone to arrange a visit to the school.

Where an application has been refused in any year group, the child will be placed on a waiting list. This will be kept strictly in order of over subscription criteria by the Local Authority, as the Admission Authority, and the child will remain on the waiting list until the end of the academic year in which the application was refused.Parents are responsible for informing the Admission Authority of any changes in their circumstances, which could affect their place on the waiting list.
