Admissions

Pupils are admitted to school in accordance with Wiltshire LEA Admissions Policy. If you would like your child to attend Charter Primary School, you will need to apply to Wiltshire Council via the Wiltshire Council Portal.

All of the details regarding admissions and appeals arrangements, including In-Year Transfers can be found on the Wiltshire Council School Admissions page. Details for Determined Admissions Arrangements for Voluntary Controlled and Community Schools can be found below:

We have an annual entry so children who are four years old before August 31st may join our school in the following month, September. There is no compulsion for your child to start school at four if you feel he/she is not ready.

There is an Induction Programme in place for Reception children which includes a number of events and activities to help them settle into Charter Primary School with confidence. The programme includes liaison visits by the class teacher to the nursery settings, Stay and Play sessions, Induction visits and a parent evening.

At eleven years of age the children transfer to the secondary schools. At present, the majority of our children transfer to Abbeyfield School but some also choose Sheldon or Hardenhuish schools. We believe that links between primary and secondary education are important and so we work in partnership with all our local secondary schools.
