Skipping Together!

The recent skipping workshop has transformed playtimes at our school! Children from all age groups have embraced skipping with enthusiasm, enjoying both individual challenges and lively group games using the new ropes we purchased after the workshop. Over the past few weeks, we’ve loved watching their skills grow and their confidence soar. Skipping has not only brought energy and fun to the playground but has also encouraged teamwork and cooperation, leading to more harmonious and happy playtimes for everyone.

School Admission Round for Reception 2026

Children can start school in reception at the beginning of the academic year following their fourth birthday. Therefore, children born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022 can start primary school from September 2026.

Applications should be made using the online facility. The link for this can be found on the following website – Admissions Applications.

Please note that the online facility is open from 3 November 2025. You must apply by 15 January 2026. If there’s a reason why your application is late, eg due to a house move, please email school-admissions@shropshire.gov.uk to advise – there may be exceptional reasons to be considered.

Applications received after 15 January, without exceptional reasons, are considered late. Late applications won’t be processed until all the applications received on time have been allocated. This may result in your child not being offered a school place at you preferred school.
