Admissions
Thank you so much for sharing an interest in your child starting at Staverton, we warmly welcome visits from prospective families. Please contact Mrs Jo Sykes in the school office on 01225 782388 to arrange a convenient time.
As a Voluntary Controlled (VC) school in Wiltshire, the Local Authority (Wiltshire Council) manages admissions. Our Pupil Admission Number (PAN) is 30, set according to building size and facilities.
Application process
Admissions open on the 1st September of the academic year before your child is due to start school and close on 15th January of the year they are due to start in. Applications are made online but if the deadline for this has passed, you will need to complete a paper application form. For further information on the application process, including a timetable of events, please visit the Wiltshire Council School Admissions page on their website by clicking here.
For children with an EHCP, please contact your child's SEND lead worker or Wiltshire Council SEND Services (01225 718095).
