Admissions

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make, and we are delighted that you are considering Netheravon. We are a welcoming, inclusive community where every child is valued, encouraged, and supported to achieve their full potential.

We warmly encourage families to visit us for a tour, meet our staff, and experience the vibrant learning environment that makes our school special. Appointments can be made through the office on 01980 670339 or via the admin@allsaints-netheravon.wilts.sch.uk email address. Whether you are applying for a Reception place or joining us further up the school, we are here to guide you through each step. 

When can my child start school?

Most children start school in the September following their fourth birthday. However, by law a child does not have to start school until the term following their fifth birthday.

Here at Netheravon our planned admission number is 30. The deadline for applications is the 15th January in the year yoiur child is due to start school.

Starting school for the first time 

As a school we pride ourselves on having a smooth transition into school not only from our own nursery and other local nurseries but for those who have not attended a nursery school setting. We have a planned induction programme that ensures children settle quickly and happily into our reception class and our school.

In the summer term prior to your child attending school our Foundation Stage staff try to visit all our new children in their pre-school settings. As well as this new parents are invited to a New Parent Meeting held in school during the Summer Term, this is an opportunity to meet the staff, ask questions and tour the facilities.

Once in school, the children have a wonderful time exploring, discovering and learning, largely through play-based activities. We provide a very well-equipped indoor and outdoor environment where children can safely investigate and where carefully selected activities encourage children to experiment with letters and numbers. Every child is different and we promote this uniqueness and help children follow their own interests wherever possible.

For children due to start school in September 2026, you must apply through Wiltshire Council for a school place for your child by midnight on 15th January 2026.

Applications from service personnel moving into Wiltshire

When applying for a school place, children of UK Service personnel (HM forces) or other crown servants are treated as meeting the residency criteria for a particular area, even if they don’t yet own a house in the county. Until a fixed address is available, the unit address of the military base will be used and a school place allocated accordingly.

If your child will be starting school in September with the normal round of admissions, parents must send proof of their posting to the county.

Arrangements for the admission of children with an Education Health and Care Plan

Upon notification of a forthcoming admission of a pupil with disabilities, the school liaises with parents, the child’s current school or nursery and, where appropriate, external agencies in order to provide a good transition into our school.

Transfer to secondary school

At the end of year 6, children transfer to secondary school with the majority of our children going to Avon Valley College or Stonehenge Secondary. Applications for a place at secondary school must be made through Wiltshire Council in the Autumn term of year 6. 

Transfer arrangements for our Year 6 pupils are sent to parents during the Spring Term prior to their children starting in September. These arrangements include visits to Netheravon by Avon Valley or Stonehenge staff, visits made to Avon Valley or Stonehenge by our Year 6 pupils and Parents Evenings when you can visit the schools and meet the teachers who will be directly involved with your child/children.

If you would like to have a look around our school and meet the headteacher, Mrs Banham, prior to applying please do give us a call or email.
