Admission Arrangements


If you are considering applying for a place at our school, Mrs Sullivan, the head teacher, will be delighted to show you around the school and answer any questions you have. Open Days are held in the Summer Term for prospective parents and in the Autumn term.

 

Admissions are handled directly by Somerset Council. You can contact them by either by phone (0300 123 2224) or visit their website at https://www.somerset.gov.uk/children-families-and-education/applying-for-school/our-admission-arrangements/  for information on how to apply to start school or to make an in year admission.

 

 

Curry Rivel Church of England Primary School is a VC school and therefore the admission arrangements are set by Somerset Local Authority.
