Admissions

We are always happy to welcome pupils into our schools who are looking to join us. As small village schools, we pride ourselves on making the admissions process as smooth and seamless as possible for both children and their families. 

We follow the admissions arrangements set by Derbyshire County Council for maintained schools. Full details of the admissions process, including how places are allocated, can be found on the Derbyshire County Council website School admission arrangements - Derbyshire County Council

Children begin full-time education in September of the school year in which they turn five. We are also happy to consider applications for pupils wishing to enrol at any point during the school year, subject to availability. 

Parents and carers who would like further information about admissions or who wish to arrange a visit to the school are warmly encouraged to contact Bamford or Grindleford school office, where we will be happy to help.
