Admissions Criteria

The Abbey is a two-form entry school with a maximum of 60 children per year group (Reception to Year 6). Places are allocated first to children with an Education, Health and Care Plan; where there are more applications than spaces, priority is given to children in Local Authority care, then to staff children, then to siblings currently attending The Abbey, and finally to children who live closer to The Abbey than to any other primary school.
