Year 3 Admissions
Starting School in Year 3
Children born between 1st September 2018 and 31st August 2019 can apply for a school place from September 2025 for admission in September 2026.
We invite parents of prospective pupils to visit our school for one of our open day events.
Our published admission number (PAN) for September 2026 is 90. This means that we have 3 classes in Year 3, each with 30 children.
Shirley Junior School’s full Admission Policy for 2026/27 is available for viewing on our school website, on our Key Information / Policies & Procedures page, or a copy can be requested from the school office. This details the selection criteria and over-subscription criteria of the school.
