The process of applying for a place at St Michael’s School varies according to whether you require a reception place (for a child starting school in September) or are applying for a place when your child is already attending another school.
As a Church of England school, the governing body determines the admission arrangements and decides which applicants are offered a place in accordance with its published criteria.
