Thank you for considering Chagford CE Primary School for your child!

All school admissions and applications are handled by Devon County Council and you can find out more information at www.devon.gov.uk/admissions. The following links and resources are designed to help you navigate your way to applying for a place for your child, whether for a September start or in year applications.

Consultation on our Admissions policy for 2022-23
We have recently proposed, consulted upon, and implemented some changes to our admissions policy for 2022-23.
One of the proposals is to add children who have been adopted from state care outside of England to our oversubscription criterion 1. This is in anticipation that the Department for Education will require this change for all schools as it has just consulted on changes to the School Admissions Code. It is possible that the Department’s timescales may mean that the Code is not amended before the end of February, when we have to formally set our policy. If that is the case, we may have to determine our policy without that change and then alter it later in spring or summer. We are bringing it to your attention though as a change in policy that we expect to have to introduce.
Other than changes in red and dates moving forward a year, the way our policy will work is the same as in the previous year, 2021-22 which you can also see below.
If you have any comments, you can make them to Devon County Council which is coordinating the consultation. Further information is at: www.devon.gov.uk/admissionarrangements. You will be able to view the proposed policies for all state-funded schools in Devon and the Local Authorities policies there too.
The consultation ends on 8 January and all policies must be determined by 28 February and published in the same places by 15 March.
