Admissions

As a Trust that provides education for children aged 2 years to 16 years in this area, children attending East Worlington primary school benefit from higher priority admission to Chulmleigh College in Year 7.

We are always delighted to hear from anyone who would like to find out more about our school – please give us a call on 01884 861722 or email admin@east-worlington-primary.devon.sch.uk and Mrs Suzie Pinn will be happy to answer any questions you have.
Chulmleigh Academy Trust is the admissions authority for our school, responsible for the admissions policies and decisions when there is an application for admission. We have an admissions policy for each academic year. Policies are written to comply with the School Admissions Code 2021 and the School Admissions Appeals Code 2022. We take part in the normal round and the in-year co-ordinated admissions schemes of Devon County Council.

Admission to Primary School starting September 2024

Admissions for all schools are via Devon County Council's School Admissions service. Please visit here for more information on how to apply.

The closing date is 15 January each year. Applications made after this date will be considered as 'late'. Please visit the DCC 'Late Applicants’ link here for more information.

For the normal round intake into school, children are offered places to start in Reception at the beginning of the September term after their fourth birthday, even if they intend to defer admission until later in the academic year.

A fresh application must be made for children who are attending our Nursery. Applications for Nursery places are made direct to the school. Please see further information on our Nursery page.

Admissions Policies

You can find our admissions policies below - we review the school policy annually and may make changes if we feel this would be in the best interests of the school and our community.
