Admissions

Thinking of joining us?

 

We welcome visits from parents and children who are considering applying for a place here, as this is a great opportunity for you to see what we have to offer. (Visits are not a compulsory part of the admissions process and will not affect decisions on whether a place can be offered at our school.)

 

If you would like to arrange a tour, please email us on office@portesham.dorset.sch.uk or alternatively please call 01305 871283.
