School Admissions
If you are interested in your child joining us, either in our main intake into Reception or at any other time, please do come along and visit us. If you would like to make an appointment to visit, please contact our School Business Manager, Mrs Harris here at the school.
The Ted Wragg Trust is responsible for our admissions policy because we are a community school. The policy is reviewed every year in the Council’s annual consultation in December and January. This welcomes the views of our local community.
School admissions arrangements 2026-27 under consultation
We will consult on our school admissions policies between 9 November 2024 and 10 January 2025. You are invited to review the school policy and submit any feedback at http://www.devon.gov.uk/admissionarrangements
After the consultation, we will determine the policy at a meeting of the admissions authority held before the end of February 2024.
Exwick Heights Admissions Policy 2026-27 (proposed)
If we can make a place available to you then we will. If not, you would have the right to appeal to a panel that is independent of the school and Devon and we would place your child’s name on a waiting list for vacancies.
If we have a vacancy, then all children are welcome to join us. If we are oversubscribed, we still welcome all children but give priority to particular groups: children who are looked after by the local authority, children with an exceptional need to come to our school, children who live in our catchment, children with siblings already here and children who live closer to us. These oversubscription criteria are only used when we are oversubscribed. For full details of our admission arrangements, please look at Devon’s co-ordinated admissions schemes as they constitute our policy.
We take part in the co-ordinated admissions schemes of Devon County Council which help parents to make applications for admission to school. Parents can apply through Devon for in-year admissions and through the local authority where the child lives for the normal round of admissions.
