Admissions, Criteria for Admission and Denomination Criteria
Our standard number of admissions for each year is 60.
We currently have spaces in Reception at the Infant School and Year 6 at the Junior School.
Admissions for Polehampton C. of E. Infant & Junior Schools are controlled by The Keys Academy and Wokingham Borough Council who co-ordinate the admission process.
In-year admissions are managed by Wokingham Borough Council. For further information please click here.
To see the most up-to-date information about admissions, please look at the Wokingham Website.
The catchment/designated area for the school is the Twyford and Ruscombe, plus Charvil - see map below.
The vast majority of pupils move from our Infant to our Junior School, although attendance at the Infants does not guarantee a place at the Juniors. A separate application will need to be made.

Whilst we take children from different faith backgrounds and families who have no faith, as a Church of England school we consider that parents should be in sympathy with the Christian ethos in which their child's education will take place.
