Admissions
Places for Reception and junior school are applied for through your home council, not the school.
Apply for a primary school place on GOV.UK
How places are given: there's no entrance test. When there are more applicants than places, places usually go by criteria such as siblings, distance or catchment area. Check the council's or school's admissions policy for the exact rules.
Before and after school
These clubs are registered with Ofsted at the school's postcode, so usually run on the school site:
- Joydenswood breakfast and after school club ltd, breakfast club, after-school club. Ofsted report
- Joydens Wood Performing Arts Club. Ofsted report
Ask the club or the school about times, prices and places. More clubs nearby.
