Admissions
New Starters to Reception Class
We are part of the admissions scheme of Devon County Council and details about admissions can be found on the Devon County Council Admission website and your application can easily be completed online through the Devon Citizens Portal. We understand that starting school is a very important milestone in your child's life and offer transition meetings and information sessions to help guide you and your child through the early weeks in reception class. We welcome prospective families to book a tour with our Head of School, Mrs Emma Donne, to look around the school and take the opportunity to ask questions and see us in action. Please contact the school office to make an appointment.
More information can be found on the School Admission Website about the admission procedures for schools.
In-Year Admissions
If you are moving to the area and wish to apply for a place at Spreyton Primary School, please contact us, and we would be delighted to arrange a visit to show you and your child around the school. Your application for a place will again be administered by the Admissions Team at Devon County Council.
For questions about your child joining the school or just about the admissions process in general, please do not hesitate to contact the school directly on 01363 84265 or contact Devon School Admissions Service on 0345 155 1019 or by email to admissions@devon.gov.uk.
