There are currently two spaces in Year R and a few spaces in Year 2, if you wish to apply for any of those spaces please submit an application form with the supporting documentation. If the current year group is full, a turn down letter will initially be sent out. You will then have the opportunity to place your child(ren) on the waiting list for the 2026/2027 academic year. The waiting list closes at the end of July 2027. This builds the waiting lists for each year group from September.
Once the school has returned from the school holidays in September then should there be any vacancies in the year group places will be offered to the top of the waiting list.
Please note than when a place does become available it is allocated strictly in accordance with the school's admissions criteria.
Monkston Primary School maintains a waiting list throughout the academic year. The waiting list will be ranked in accordance with the over-subscription criteria and length of time on the list will not be a factor in offering a place. This means that children will move up or down the list as other children are added or removed. Being on the waiting list does not guarantee a place at the school. Waiting lists close at the end of the academic year, closing at the end of July 2027.
