Parents can apply for a Reception place here using their Local Authority Common Application Form (for children who live in the Devon County Council area, this is available at www.devon.gov.uk/admissionsonline or by requesting a copy of the D-CAF1 from My Devon. Applications should be made up to the national closing date of 15 January– late applications may be at a disadvantage. Decisions are sent to parents around 16 April.
For admissions at any time after the start of the Reception, you can apply using the D-CAF, wherever your child lives. Copies are available from My Devon.
