Visiting us

If you are interested in your child attending our school, you are welcome to come in and visit us. We welcome families, not only for children who are due to start in the following September, but for anyone who may like to see more of what we offer.  You can arrange a visit by calling 01752 893182, or by emailing admin@manor.devon.sch.uk. Our administrator will be able to discuss admissions with you.

Admissions Arrangements

The admission arrangements detailed on this webpage apply to Manor Primary School.  Westcountry Schools Trust (WeST) is the admissions authority, responsible for the admissions policies and decisions on applications for admission. We have an admissions policy for each academic year. They are written to comply with the School Admissions Code and School Admissions Appeals Code. We take part in the co-ordinated admissions schemes of Devon County Council.

Applying for a school place

Once you decide you would like a place for your child, you must make a formal application. You can do this by applying to the Local Authority and not direct to the school.

For the normal round intake into school, children are offered places to start in Reception at the beginning of the September term after their fourth birthday. Children who are admitted to a vacancy at any time after this point are called 'In-Year' Admissions.

The Local Authority

Devon County Council publishes information about admissions and its own policies to support the admissions application and appeals process. This is at www.devon.gov.uk/admissions

Applications can be made online at School admissions – Education and Families (devon.gov.uk)or by using the forms available at http://devon.cc/applicationforms 

The appeals process is detailed at School admission appeals – Education and Families 

For questions about your child joining the school or just about the admissions process in general, please don’t hesitate to contact the school direct or contact Devon School Admissions Service on 0345 155 1019 or by email to admissions@devon.gov.uk.

Our Admissions Policies

You can find our admissions policies at the bottom of this page - we review the school policy annually and may make changes if we feel this would be in the best interests of the school and our community.

Each academic year has its own policy document, with details about how to apply for a place in school from the start of Reception through to Year 6.

If you have any comments regarding any of the policies, you can contact us at the school or schoolsadmissionpolicy-mailbox@devon.gov.uk.
