Admissions - new starters

We hope that you have found our website useful and informative, and have found a Pickwick school you would like your child to attend.  Each of our schools runs open days throughout the year and would be delighted to hear from you, whether your child is starting school for the first time in Reception (the EYFS or FS2) or joining mid-year.  Please visit the school's website and contact them directly.

Pickwick is the admission authority and is responsible for the admission arrangements in each of our schools.  You can find our Admissions Policy, published admission number (PAN) for each school and admissions criteria here.

When applying to start school in Reception in September, you must apply via your home Local Authority (LA).  For example, if you live in Hampshire, but would like to apply for your child to join one of our Wiltshire schools, you will need to apply via Hampshire LA.  Details for deadlines for applications can be found in our policy.

You can find out more about applying through your Local Authority website:

Somerset Local Authority admissions

We look forward to welcoming you and your children to the Pickwick Academy Trust family of schools.
