Admissions
To parents with children due to start school in September 2021
We'd like to work with you to find a solution best matched to your needs:
- A socially distanced outside meet and tour?
- An online video call?
- A telephone conversation?
Choosing the right school for your child is an important decision as a Parent to make and we want to be able to help make this a straightforward process for you.
If you would like your child to attend our school, please contact the school office in the first instance we can often give you the latest place availability in year groups, application procedure and make an appointment for you to visit.

As Wellow is in the Mountbatten School catchment area, and Wellow School is a ‘feeder’ school, most of our children transition there for secondary education. The Mountbatten School website can be accessed here.
