If you would like your child to join English Martyrs’ Catholic Primary School during the school year, this is known as an in-year (or casual) admission. For casual admissions into any year group please contact the school office to see if spaces are available and to request forms.  If no spaces are available, your child's name can be put on a waiting list.

We understand that moving schools can be an important and sometimes challenging time for both children and families. Our aim is to make the process as straightforward and supportive as possible. Please have a look at the information below but remember, we are also here to help. If you experience any problems, or have any questions, please contact the office for advice.
