Further information about Junior and Middle Admissions

This is the process for transfer to Junior or Middle school in September 2008.

Junior School Admissions

For children born between 01.09.00-31.08.01

Children can be educated in a Primary school from 5 to 11 or at a separate Infant school from 5 to 7 before moving on to a Junior school until they are 11.
