Still unsure about Nursery or Reception for September?
Choosing a school for your child is a big decision, and it’s completely natural to feel unsure, especially if things haven’t quite fallen into place yet.
At St Anne’s Primary School, we welcome enquiries from families who are still exploring their options and would like to see whether our school might be the right place for their child, even if we were not their first choice during the admissions process. It’s not too late to come and see us.
Many parents tell us that visiting a school in person, meeting the staff, seeing the classrooms, and getting a feel for the community really helps them make a confident decision.
Come and See St Anne’s for Yourself
We are happy to offer individual tours for families who would like to look around, ask questions, and find out more about daily life at St Anne’s. These visits are relaxed and informal, and there’s no pressure, just an opportunity to see whether our nurturing, inclusive environment feels right for your child.
If you’re considering a move, exploring your options, or simply want reassurance that you’re making the best choice, we would be delighted to welcome you.

- Small, family-feel school community

Appeals Procedures
Appeals
Where the governors are unable to offer a place because the school is oversubscribed, parents have the right to appeal to an independent admission appeal panel.
Parents will have the opportunity to submit their case to the panel in writing and also to attend in order to present their case. You will normally receive 14 days’ notice of the place and time of the hearing.
Please note that this right of appeal against does not prevent you from making an appeal in respect of any other school.
