Primary School Admissions
Admissions Guidance
Starting Primary School is one of the most important events in a child's life. As a parent/carer, you will no doubt have a wide range of questions about this transition.
We will admit a child to a maintained primary/infant school in the September following their 4th birthday. Legally, parents can delay the admission of their child until the term following their 5th birthday. However, it is a Council Policy that the child will continue to follow their chronological year group unless exceptional circumstances apply.
Attendance at a feeder nursery does not exclude the need to apply for a Reception place at the School. Please note that priority for admission is not given to those children attending a feeder nursery.
Please contact the Admissions Team at schoolandstudentaccessunit@monmouthshire.gov.uk or alternatively on 01633 644508 with your enquiry.
The booklet holds details of Community Primary Schools, Voluntary Aided Schools and Denominational Schools and details of how to apply for a place at a Monmouthshire school. There is also advice on transport to school and other support available.
