In Year Admissions

In Year admissions refer to applications made at any other time after the initial September entry into Year R.

There are places in current year 1 and in year R

However all the other year groups are full so for Year 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 applications, applying for any of these year groups will mean you will receive a turn down letter and have the option to place your child(ren) on the waiting lists.

The waiting lists are ranked via the oversubscription criteria. Length of time on the waiting list is not a factor in offering a place.

Please note that when a place does become available it is allocated strictly in accordance with the school’s admissions criteria. Applications for an in year admission should be made on the Monkston Primary School application form:

In-year-KET-Primary-Application-2024-25
