Admissions

In this section you will find information that will help prospective parents find out more about the school, our admissions policy, how to apply for a school place and our induction process.

The video below 'Welcome to Tyrrells' will give you a fantastic overview of everything that Tyrrells stands for as well as giving you a flavour of the well-rounded education that you can expect for your child.

 

Each year we hold School Tours between November and January for prospective parents to come and see our school in action. Our tours involve a talk from our Headteacher and a tour provided by our Year 6 children (accompanied by a member of staff) with an opportunity to talk to our Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher again afterwards.

Each tour is for adults only (if you are offered a place, there are lots of opportunities for your child to visit the school later on). Each tour can have a maximum of 10 adults attending. 

All tours begin at 9:30am and you should allow approximately 1.5 hours for the whole visit experience.
