St Michael's Church of England C Primary School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 55 families put St Michael's Church of England C Primary School as their first choice and 97 named it as one of their preferences, for 59 places offered.
