| Admissions |
| When the school first opened in September 2013, the governing body agreed to a one form entry of 30 pupils in its first two years and a two form entry thereafter. CPS has a published admission number (PAN) of 60 at the normal point of entry and this number is carried forward as the cohort moves through the school. The school is at its planned capacity as part of the funding agreement with the DfE, based on a bottom up growth strategy. |

| In-Year Admissions for 2026-2027 Academic Year Only |
An in-year admission means admission to a current year group for a child who is already attending school but wishes to change schools due to relocation or a change in circumstances.
The following applications will be treated as In-Year Admissions during 2026-2027:
- Applications for admission to Reception which are received after 1st September 2026
- All other applications for admission to Year 1 to Year 6
Priority will not be given on the basis of the date an application was added to the list. In line with the School Admissions Code we are unable to give parents/carers any indication as to the likelihood of being able to offer a place and for this reason we are unable to offer individual visits to the school.
