Admissions

We would like to invite you to come and have a look at the school to see if this the right environment for you and your family.  Being part of this school means being part of the Springwood Family and we are proud to be part of this family.

Why not take a look at our 'Good' Ofsted reports, our results and the class pages to get a feel for us.

Admissions for children starting school for the first time in September 2025 opens on lst November 2024 and the deadline for applications  is 15th January 2025.  Places will be notified by Hampshire County Council.  If you miss the deadline for making an application for your child, you will need to make a late application through Hampshire Admissions or alternatively the office can provide you with a paper copy.
