If your child was born between 1st September 2019 and 31st August 2020, you will need to apply for a school place between 31st October 2023 and 15th January 2024

To apply for a place at Ashley for Reception in September 2024, you must:

There are also separate supplementary forms to apply for a place under criterion 3 or 5 (see below) - children of staff or children eligible for the Pupil Premium.

If this form is not submitted by the application closing date, your application may be ranked in the relevant lower criterion.
