Whilst it is helpful if parents can let school know at an early date if they would like their children to attend in due course, offers of places can only be confirmed by the LA in the academic year before the child is due to start school.
Mid-year applications are dealt with directly by the school, which will provide the relevant Shropshire mid-year transfer paperwork and confirm a place, please contact admin@cheswardine.school or 01630817640 and ask for details.
Parents considering applying to the school are welcome to visit. Please make arrangements with the Headteacher.
The school works closely with Cheswardine Nursery to provide early years education for children from the age of two, in accordance with regulations in Shropshire’s Early Years Development Plan. Please contact the school office and visit our Nursery for more information and to visit our fantastic site.
