    Privacy Notice

    The Learning Academy Partnership is the admissions authority for our school, responsible for the admissions policies and decisions when there is an application for admission. We have an admissions policy for each academic year. Policies are written to comply with the School Admissions Code 2021 and the School Admissions Appeals Code 2022. We take part in the normal round and the in-year co-ordinated admissions schemes of Devon County Council

    Come and visit us

    If you are interested in your child attending our school, you are welcome to come in and visit us. You can arrange a visit on 01626 365293 or by emailing allsaints@lapsw.org. Mr O’Sullivan or Mrs Webber will be able to discuss admission with you.

    Applying to come here

    Once you decide you would like a place in the main intake into [Reception] (we call this the normal round) or at any other time after this, you must make a formal application. You can do this by applying to the Local Authority via the Citizens Portal.

    For the normal round intake into school, children are offered places to start in Reception at the beginning of the September term after their fourth birthday, even if they intend to defer admission until later in the academic year.

    The Local Authority

    Devon County Council publishes information about admissions and its own policies to support the admissions application and appeals process. This is at www.devon.gov.uk/admissions you can read about the admission process in the Step by Step and In-Year Admissions booklets.

    Applications can be made online at www.devon.gov.uk/admissionsonline or by using the forms available at http://devon.cc/applicationforms

    There is an appeals process if an application is refused; this is detailed at How to appeal - Children, families and education

    If your child is due to start in Reception (Foundation Stage), children are offered places to start in Reception at the beginning of the September term after their fourth birthday, even if they intend to defer admission until later in the academic year.

    For questions about your child joining the school or just about the admissions process in general, please don’t hesitate to contact the school direct or contact Devon School Admissions Service on 0345 155 1019 or by email to admissions@devon.gov.uk.

    Our Admissions Policies

    You can find our admissions policies below – we review the school policy annually and may make changes if we feel this would be in the best interests of the school and our community.

    Each academic year has its own policy document, with details about how to apply for a place in school from the start of Reception through to Year 6.

    Part time offer for reception children of non compulsory school age.

    We invite parents to visit so that we can discuss the provision on offer to children in our Reception class, how it is tailored to meet the needs of the youngest children, parent concerns, how their needs would be met as they move through the school and school readiness. Children follow the same Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum in Reception as in Nursery and Childminder settings. The Early Years is delivered in a way where learning involves lots of play and exploration rather than formal learning at tables and can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual child.
