Admissions
School life is such an important part of every child’s life. Education has the opportunity to change lives and open doors to a world of experiences. The local authorities we work with are committed to supporting your child to settle into school quickly, enjoy their new surroundings and flourish with their education. This includes making the admissions process as smooth and easy as possible for children, parents, carers and other family members.
