Admissions

After reading through the information on this website, we hope that you would like to see the school at work so that you can decide if ours is the right school for your child.   We invite you to contact the School Office on 01258 860581 to make an appointment.

The school aims to provide a place for each child living in the parish of Child Okeford.   Enquiries from potential pupils living outside the parish boundaries are welcome, if places are available.

Children will normally start school at the beginning of the academic year in which they will attain five years of age. We can admit up 25 pupils into our Reception class each year. 

Entry to St Nicholas CE Primary School is in accordance with Dorset Council Policy.   To apply for a school place and for any information on in-year admissions, please visit the Dorset Admissions website at Dorset Council School Admissions
