Welcome to St. Mary's - let's get you started with an application!

St Mary’s Church of England Primary School follows the admissions policy set out by Southampton City Council which is the admissions authority for all Community and Voluntary Controlled schools.

The admissions policy for Community and Voluntary Controlled primary schools is set out below.

Who should I speak to at the school?

Staff who will be able to help you with your application:

I've got a place for my child, what next?

All newly admitted children, and parents, are invited to the school to meet staff members. We will ask questions related to:

• Your child's general well being and health
• Your child's behaviours 
• Your child's history of need - perhaps social or emotional needs or special educational needs.

It is vital that you tell us the truth at these meetings and do not leave any information out. We have systems and processes to help our families and their children - but we cannot do this if we do not have the information necessary.

No child will have their place taken away if they have a special educational need. We celebrate and support our pupils really well at St. Mary's! Just let us know.

Home-School Agreement

The home-school agreement is a contract between the school, child and parent/carer that sets out the expectations we all have of one another. 

The home-school agreement is clear on our expectations related to:

• Attendance/Non-attendance
• Holidays in term time
• Expected behaviours on site at the school
• The school's obligations and promise to all parents.

At your admission meeting, we will all sign this document to demonstrate a commitment to supporting the school in its aims.

A copy of the Home-School Agreement 2022-23 is attached below.
